Apple Turon (Apple Spring Rolls)
Another quick and easy snack served at our Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 high school reunion over Thanksgiving. This is more of an ‘Americanized’ version of the usual TURON or banana spring roll, a dessert/snack made of banana slices and jackfruit strips wrapped in spring roll wrapper, dipped in brown sugar then deep fried. For this version, I substituted granny smith apples for the bananas, no jackfruit slices (of course you can add them if you want) and sprinkled the apple slices with brown sugar before wrapping in spring roll wrapper.
Ingredients:
- 4 granny smith apples
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 8 sheets spring roll wrapper
- oil for frying
Directions:
- Peel, core apples. Slice thinly. Divide into 8 equal parts.
- Place one part onto center of spring roll wrapper. Sprinkle with approx 1 tbs brown sugar (or more if required). Roll (like spring rolls). Repeat with the rest and set aside.
- Heat cooking oil on high. When hot enough, fry apple rolls quickly (abougt 3 minutes each side) until light brown. Drain on paper towels or rack.
- Serve warm.
Notes: You can add strips of jackfruit, cinnamon or use vanilla sugar instead of brown sugar.
All I can say is Mmmmmmm….. They look delicious! I’m definately going to try this recipe.
another whole new concept on apple fitters – love it
Since I can’t make apple pie, this would be a good substitute.
simple and yet delicious. I would love a few of that with a cup of hot tea
I have an apple addition lately; I just can’t shake it. These look wonderful, I’m going to try them this weekend.
what a coincidence i was eating banana turon while i was reading your blog! emphasis on the word was because it’s gone now! lol!
uy, what a great idea!
mmmh. apple is my fav. Not to mention, anything fried tastes better. lol
this looks fantastic!
Delicious and easy! Wish I could just grab one now… just one… maybe two.
they look absolutely delicious. fun twist with apples – i’m tired of apple pie!!
Looks great, I wouldn’t think of using apples but it works. I’ll try this next time when I’m making it for the family
Yum! I keep forgetting the name of this dessert. We’ve always had the banana ones & I asked what it was & my mom’s friends would say “It’s a banana burrito”. Now I just gotta try to remember the proper name! Thank you for the recipe!
another great idea for my house party!
Yum, I love the idea of a sweet spring roll. Kind of reminds me of a fried apple pie! I may have to try something like this, making little sweet raviolis for dessert.
apple in egg roll — mmm… sound good for weekend snack
Thanks!
too lazy to make apple pie. apple turon is much easier, top with vanilla ice cream!
