Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 2 cups apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Wrap and Frying
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups or enough to fill pan 1-2 inches deep)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, mixing well to ensure the apples are evenly coated and flavorful.
- Fill the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of the wrapper, being careful not to overfill to avoid tearing.
- Seal the Egg Rolls: Fold the wrapper over the filling, folding in the sides to encase the filling completely. Use a little water on the edges to help seal the egg roll tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
- Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a skillet or pan to a depth of about 1-2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C) or is hot enough that a small piece of wrapper sizzles immediately upon contact.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the sealed egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm, optionally with caramel sauce for dipping to enhance the dessert experience.
Notes
- For best results, keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while working.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar levels according to your taste preferences for sweetness and spice.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to avoid greasy egg rolls; a medium heat ensures crispy texture without burning.
- These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
- Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying.
