Ingredients
  

Apple Pie Filling:

  • 2 apples sliced into 1 inch pieces (peeled optional)
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Remaining Ingredients:

  • 8 rice paper sheets see preferred brand linked above
  • avocado oil or coconut oil spray or you can brush on oil if you don't have a spray

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all Apple Pie ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Then add to a saute pan and cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. Then remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Fill a large shallow plate with water and soak rice pepper (making sure the entire rice paper gets coated with water for about 5 seconds.
  • Remove to place on another clean plate or work surface.
  • Place 1/2 cup or so the apple pie filling mixture into the middle of the rice paper into a rectangular shape.
  • Use your hands to fold over the bottom end of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in both sides of the rice paper over the filling in the middle. Then finally fold over the top piece of the rice paper end to complete your dumplings.
  • Repeat this process of soaking another piece of rice paper and placing on to a clean dry plate to wrap the dumpling in one more layer of rice paper. Repeat the process with the remaining filling, should make about 4 dumplings)
  • Then spray both sides of the dumplings with avocado oil or coconut oil. Alternatively you can use a pastry brush to brush oil on them.
  • Place into the air fryer at 400F for 6 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Then add to a plate of 2 tbsp of coconut sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to coat the dumplings in cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Cool for a few minutes and cut in half with a sharp knife. Enjoy by itself or with some dairy free vegan ice cream!
