Apple pies are delicious, sure, but they can be quite time-consuming to make. When you don’t have to spend all day in the kitchen or with a group or people, but still crave the warm, inviting taste of a homemade apple pie, TikTok creator @chefsummerstorm came up with the best solution: apple pie dumplings.
Instead of having to bake and fill an entire pie crust, these accidentally gluten-free treats are wrapped in rice paper and fried on the stovetop. No need to preheat the oven or knead dough; The only thing you need to lift heavy in this recipe is to roll up the apple pie filling in a sheet of rice paper. Once fried, they taste great with a vegan cream cheese dip, according to @chefsummerstorm. This recipe is a must for anyone who loves apple pie.

- For the pie filling, peel and slice apples, then mix with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Place a single sheet of rice paper on a plate and hold it under hot water for no more than five seconds—otherwise it will become too soft to touch.
- Place 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling on the rice paper, then roll up like a burrito. Repeat until apple pie filling is done.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle coconut oil, then add the dumplings. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan as the dumplings may stick together.
- Cook the dumplings for about four minutes, then flip them. Cook four more about four minutes.
- Brush each dumpling with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- While the dumplings are cooling, prepare the cream cheese dip by mixing cream cheese with butter, powdered sugar, and milk.
