Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling:
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Assembly:
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Neutral oil for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar or caramel sauce for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add diced apples. Cook until slightly softened. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until apples are tender and caramelized. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Spoon apple filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce.
Notes
- These can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes or air-fried for a lighter version.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
