Apple Cinnamon Turon (Fried Roll with Apple Filling)

Turon (fried banana roll) has always been a favorite dessert/snack in my house. I normally make it when I have over-ripe bananas and left-over wrappers from making lumpiang shanghai or pork and vegetable spring rolls.  Turon is a classic street food originally made with a slice of banana that is rolled in brown sugar, covered with a wrapper and then fried. This apple cinnamon turon recipe takes the classic Filipino snack to the next level by using apples and cinnamon instead of banana. The result is a delicious roll that is crunchy on the outside while sweet and tart on the inside.

INGREDIENTS:

• Apple – the main star of this recipe.
• Butter – is used to sauté the apple, adding texture and flavor as well.
• Brown sugar – adds sweetness to the filling. It balances the sour taste of the Granny Smith apple.
• Ground cinnamon – adds a distinct taste and flavor to the filling.
• Spring roll wrappers –are used to hold the apple filling together.
• Vegetable oil – is used to fry the turon.

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CINNAMON TURON:

To make apple cinnamon turon, first sauté the cubed apples in butter until brown and soft. Next, add the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until well-combined. Set the mixture aside to cool. When the mixture is cool, spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture on a piece of wrapper. Roll up and seal well.  Fry the turon until golden brown.

TIPS:

• I used Granny smith apples in this recipe. I love the tartness and sharp flavor it gives to the filling. Other kinds of apples may also be used.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ¼ cup butter , cubed
• 3 apples , peeled and sliced into ½-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 8 pieces 8-inch frozen spring roll wrappers , thawed and separated

• Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

 

• Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and cubed apples. Sauté until apple is soft, about 7 minutes.

Roll the wrapper over the mixture, tuck in both sides and roll it up tight. Moisten the end with water and press to seal. Repeat the process for the rest of the apple cinnamon mixture.
