Description
Crispy egg rolls filled with a sweet and spiced apple pie filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg roll wrappers
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling near one corner of an egg roll wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling. Fold in the sides.
- Roll the wrapper tightly toward the opposite corner.
- Brush the top edge of the wrapper with the beaten egg to seal the roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Carefully place 2 or 3 egg rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For dipping, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or water to create a thin glaze.
- Ensure the apple filling is completely cool before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from tearing.
