It’s Fall, ya’ll! Well, in terms of the recipe world, that is.

To kick-start some amazingly simple, yet delicious Autumn recipes, let’s first appreciate the star of the season, apples. They are the fruit that is synonymous with Fall. With all of the varieties and flavors of apples, they are versatile for sweet and savory applications.

These sweet and crisp Air Fried Apple Pie Spring Rolls are so easy, that even kids can make them! Simply make a filling with apples, brown sugar, spices, and butter before stuffing it inside gluten-free rice paper. Then, place into the air fryer for a crunchy outside and a tender middle.

These dessert rolls are perfect for parties, an easy dessert, or even breakfast! Feel free to use any apple variety you have – even use your extra apples from a family weekend of apple picking!

Can You Make Sweet Spring Rolls?

In short – yes! Spring rolls are typically filled with savory ingredients, such as cabbage, pork, shrimp, carrots, soy sauce, and more. Savory spring rolls are delicious and very common. Sweet spring rolls are less common, but definitely shouldn’t be!

You can fill rice paper with almost anything you like. They always cook up nice and crispy, especially when using the air fryer. This way, you are cutting down on a lot of fat and calories by not deep frying these little cigar-shaped pies. 

Simply prepare the rolls, preheat the air fryer, spray them with oil spray, and like magic, your spring rolls will be perfectly crispy on the outside! Be sure to not overcook the spring rolls, as they can burn quickly, no matter the filling inside.

How to Make Air Fried Apple Pie Spring Rolls

Set a shallow bowl of water aside your sheets of rice paper to prepare them for rolling.

In a large bowl, add your cut apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Toss to combine.

Dip a sheet of rice paper briefly into the water. Do not wait for it to get soft, as it will soften as you fill them.

Place the damp rice paper on a clean cutting board. Fill with 2 heaping tablespoons of apples and some of the sugary juices.

Roll the spring roll like a burrito, tucking in the sides before rolling into a cigar shape. Set aside and continue with the rest of the spring rolls.

Once your rolls are complete, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.

Place the rolls in a preheated air fryer and spray with the oil spray. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until crispy and browned, flipping halfway through.

Serve warm with prepared caramel sauce, for dipping.
