These Apple Pie Egg Rolls are a delightful fusion of classic apple pie flavors and crispy, golden egg roll wrappers. Perfect for dessert or a sweet snack, theyβre easy to make and bursting with warm, spiced apple filling.
Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- For the Egg Rolls:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Oil (for frying)
- For the Topping:
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well.
- Cook until the apples soften (about 5-7 minutes).
- Mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Add it to the apple mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edges with beaten egg.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
