Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (so it looks like a diamond).
2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
4. Fold the sides inward snugly, then roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner.
5. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Make sure it’s tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.

Tip: Avoid overfilling; too much filling can cause the wrapper to tear.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

1. In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat 1–2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, without crowding.
3. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Use tongs to remove the egg rolls and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Alternative: For a lighter version, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

• Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgence.
• Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate apple pie experience.

Tips for Perfect Apple Pie Egg Rolls

• Choose firm apples: Softer apples can turn mushy during cooking.
• Cool the filling: Hot filling can make the egg rolls soggy or cause them to burst during frying.
• Seal well: A tightly sealed edge ensures no caramelized sugar leaks into the oil.
• Experiment with flavors: Add raisins, chopped nuts, or a hint of ginger for a unique twist.
