Delight in the crispy, sweet flavors of Apple Pie Egg Rolls, a fun and easy dessert twist combining the classic taste of apple pie with a crunchy egg roll wrapper. Filled with tender, cinnamon-spiced apple chunks, these egg rolls are fried to golden perfection and can be served with whipped cream or caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Egg Rolls

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream, for serving
  • Caramel sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apples, cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a dab of water to ensure it stays closed.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or fryer to a depth of about 1-2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or bubbles appear around a wooden spoon when inserted.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them gently for even cooking.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with optional whipped cream or caramel sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor and firm texture that holds up well during cooking.
  • Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent to prevent greasy egg rolls.
  • For a twist, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
  • Egg rolls can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes as a healthier alternative, turning halfway through.
  • Let the filling cool before assembling to prevent wrappers from getting soggy.
