Easiest gluten-free apple cinnamon rolls ever! No “knead” for any dough or flour, these come together so quickly and make a perfect breakfast and snack.

When I made my savory rice paper power curls (named by you guys btw!) filled with tofu and veggies, so many of you requested a sweet version and I was so intrigued with the idea, of course I had to make it!

And now I’m torn, I can’t decide which one I like more anymore. The sweet version turned out so amazingly! With a crispy airy exterior, soft and chewy inside structure, filled with caramelized apples and walnuts.

Rice Paper Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
Method
- Chop the apples into small cubes, discard the cores;
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat, add in the apple and cook until they’re soft and golden brown;
- Add in the cinnamon and maple syrup, stir to mix evenly and cook for another 2 minutes for the syrup to thicken, turn off heat and set aside;
- Dip one rice paper in water for 2-3 seconds, lay down on your work surface, and dip another piece, connect the two pieces by overlapping 1/2 inch of their edges;
- Add the apple walnut mixture along the longer edge, start rolling up from the side with fillings and roll as tightly as your can until you reach the other end, now you have a long rolled strip with apple fillings inside;
- Coil the rolled strip inward and form a swirl shape, repeat with all six rice paper and that’ll yield three apple cinnamon rolls;
- Heat a small drizzle of oil in a clean nonstick pan over medium high heat, pan fry the rolls for 3-4 minutes on the first side or until golden and bubbly, flip, and fry the other side for 2-3 minutes, monitor them so they don’t burn and adjust cooking time depending on your stove;
- Serve warm with a dusting of caster sugar, enjoy!
