Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

  • 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

For the Rolls:

  • 10 spring roll wrappers or egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
  • Caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling:
    • In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Assemble the Rolls:
    • Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center of the wrapper.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the sides in towards the center, then roll the wrapper away from you to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry the Rolls:
    • Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add a few rolls at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
    • Remove the rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve:
    • Dust the crispy apple pie rolls with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
