Apple Pie Egg Rolls


  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Toppings:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel or chocolate drizzle
  • Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but still slightly firm.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Moisten the top corner with water to help it stick.
  4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry or Bake

For Frying:
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
  2. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For Baking:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Lightly brush or spray the egg rolls with cooking oil for crispiness.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

4. Coat and Serve

  1. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  2. While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  3. Serve warm with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or chopped nuts.
  4. Enjoy every bite of these sweet, crispy, and gooey treats!
  5. Perfect as a dessert, snack, or even a breakfast indulgence.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Apples: Choose a variety that balances sweetness and tartness, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Make sure the apple filling isn’t too wet before assembling the egg rolls. Use cornstarch if needed.
  • Switch Fillings: Try other fruits like peaches, pears, or berries for a unique twist.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
