Ingredients
- 2 Cups Apples (peeled, diced) Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor.
- 1/2 Cup Brown sugar Adds sweetness and depth to the filling.
- 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar Balances the sweetness of the brown sugar.
- 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon Adds the warm, spiced flavor typical of apple pie.
- 1/4 Tsp Ground nutmeg Optional, but enhances the apple pie flavor.
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice Adds a bit of tang to balance the sweetness.
- 2 Tbsp Cornstarch Thickens the filling to prevent it from being too runny.
- 10/12 Sheets Egg roll wrappers Can be found in most grocery stores in the frozen section.
- 1 Egg Egg (beaten) For sealing the edges of the egg rolls.
- 2-3 Cups Vegetable oil For frying the egg rolls until golden and crispy.
- 1/4 Cup Powdered sugar Optional, for dusting on top after frying.
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling:In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Seal the edges with a bit of beaten egg.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:Heat about 2-3 cups of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Cool:Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve:Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (optional).
- Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, sweet apple pie egg rolls with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce if desired!
