This Rice Paper Apple Pie comes together in about 30 minutes and is baked to crispy perfection for a quick and easy dessert your family will love! Trust me, it’s a fun twist on a classic that’s sure to impress!

Ingredients You’ll Need

4-5 medium apples, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
10-12 rice paper sheets (you can find these in the Asian aisle!)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (and seriously, don’t skimp on the butter!)
Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving, which, just to be clear, I highly recommend!

Let’s Get Cooking!

So, before you get too far into the excitement of this recipe, let’s take a moment to set up your kitchen and get into the apple pie-making mood!

Preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C). This is key! Nobody likes soggy pie crust.
In a bowl, mix the apple slices with that enchanting cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. The moment those apples get all coated and fragrant? Wow, it’s heavenly!
Soak each rice paper sheet in warm water until they’re pliable. It usually takes about 10-15 seconds, just don’t let them turn mushy. Then, layer them in a greased baking dish. Think of it as creating a cozy little nest for all those apples.
Add a portion of the apple mixture on top of those rice paper layers. You want those apples to get comfy!
Cover the apples with more soaked rice paper, brushing the tops with melted butter. Just think about that buttery crispiness, you’ll be dreaming about this in no time!
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rice paper is golden and crispy. Seriously, your house is going to smell like the sweetest apple orchard!
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is where it gets really fun, y’all.

Storage: This pie can last for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it well to keep those flavors intact.
