Instructions
How to Make Crispy Apple Pie Egg Rolls
- Prepare the filling: In a saucepan, combine peeled and diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Thicken the filling: Stir in cornstarch, then remove from heat and let cool slightly. The mixture should become thicker and easier to handle.
- Wrap the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper in a diamond orientation. Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling at the center, fold the bottom corner over, tuck in the side corners, and roll tightly. Seal the edges with a bit of water.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, turning as needed for even cooking.
- Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with caramel for an added touch of sweetness.
