Apple Pie Turon
Turon is one of the most popular Filipino snacks. Traditionally made with ripe plantains, this recipe uses apples instead for a fun handheld dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, or any other type that is best for baking)
- 1 cup turbinado sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- Package of spring roll wrappers or homemade (25 pieces)
- 2 large egg whites
- Canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow rimmed dish or bowl.
- Peel, core, and slice apples. Apple slices should be about 1/4" to 1/2" thick
- Place spring roll wrappers in front of you in a diamond shape.
- Roll an apple slice in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place horizontally on top of the spring roll wrapper. Fold over the bottom side of the wrapper over the apple, then fold the sides. Wet the remaining outer edges of the wrapper with egg white and then roll shut.
- Pour canola oil in a pan, about 1/2" high. Heat it over medium heat until it's 350F.
- Fry the rolls for 10 minutes, turning them halfway, if necessary, until golden brown all over.
- Once fried, place the turon rolls on a metal cooling rack set over paper towels to drain the excess oil. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over them while they are still hot. Serve warm and enjoy!
