Apple Pie Spring Rolls
Confession. I have to say, I have this thing for McDonald's apple pies. The crispy pastry pockets with a super cinnamon spiced apple pie filling is such a comfort, even when the piping hot filling burns my lips and tongue something ridiculous. They've gotten me through many a late night and ''I deserve it'' days. Â If anything, McD's apple pies have taught me patience - wait for the damn pies to cool down a bit before shoving in your pie hole. *laughing at myself uncontrollably*So after dreaming about these pies for nights on end, I thought I'd try my own spin on them. Then I thought, how divine would apple pie spring rolls be? I mean.... YUM!Popped Red Balloon Productions and I played around in the kitchen recently and filmed the most delish Apple Pie Spring Rolls. Â So easy to make and simply divine as is, sprinkled with icing sugar or served as a dessert with ice-cream or custard. Â To see our YouTube video, click here.Here's the full recipe...
Ingredients
- 5 granny smith or Pink Lady apples peeled, cored and diced (1cm x 1cm cubes)
- 125 ml brown sugar
- 15 ml cinnamon
- juice of half lemon
- 15 ml custard powder
- 5 ml caramel or vanilla essence
- +- 8 spring roll pastry thawed out in the fridge
- 1 egg beaten (or use a bit of milk)
- Icing sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Heat a medium pot and add the diced apple, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, custard powder and essence. Give the mixture a good stir after each addition.
- Bring to a simmer and cook over low to moderate heat (stirring occasionally) until apples are tender and glazed in a sticky sauce.
- Place 2 tablespoons of mixture onto a spring roll pastry sheet and roll up. Use beaten egg to tightly seal spring rolls. Repeat with remaining filling and pastry. See video for technique.
- When ready to serve, deep fry in moderately hot oil until golden and crispy.
- Drain on a rack to remove excess oil.
- Serve sprinkled with icing sugar.
- Remember, be patient, let them cool down a bit before noshing...
