Apple Pie Egg Rolls are a delightful fusion of crispy, golden egg rolls filled with a sweet and tangy apple pie filling, perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings. Inspired by the classic egg roll and the creative Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas, these edible envelopes of dough are stuffed with a cinnamon-spiced apple mixture and deep-fried to perfection. Dunk them in caramel sauce or whipped cream for an irresistible treat that’s sure to impress!
Ingredients:
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Whipped cream or caramel sauce, for serving (optional)
Preparation:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with ⅓ cup water and add to the apple mixture. Stir, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until apples soften and the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and transfer to a bowl to cool completely.
- Fill a small dish with water and line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Once cooled, place egg roll wrappers on a dry surface. Spoon ¼ cup of the apple mixture onto each wrapper, roll tightly, fold edges inward, and seal with water.
- Heat 4 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 360°F. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining rolls.
- Serve immediately with caramel sauce or whipped cream for dipping.
Enjoy this crispy, sweet, and tangy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
