Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil Melted coconut oil can be a healthy alternative.
  • 4 tablespoons brown or coconut sugar Can be swapped with regular granulated sugar.
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon Feel free to use apple pie spice.
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice Fresh lemon juice is recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour Gluten-free flour works for a gluten-free version.
  • 4 cups diced Granny Smith apples Consider substituting with other tart varieties.
Wrapping
  • 8 pieces egg roll wrappers Ensure they are vegan.
Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar For dredging.
  • ½ teaspoon additional ground cinnamon For dredging.

Equipment

  • non-stick pan
  • Skillet
  • Shallow Bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add diced Granny Smith apples, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook for around 5 minutes until the apples are softened. Stir in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat and mix in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
  2. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner facing you. Moisten the edges with water. Place approximately ⅓ cup of apple filling in the center, fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck it gently, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  3. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Heat the last tablespoon of vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place each assembled egg roll in the skillet and fry for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Once golden, remove the egg rolls and dredge them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture for an extra sweet finish.
  5. Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving warm, ideally alongside vegan vanilla ice cream.
