Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Assembly & Frying
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss thoroughly to coat the apples evenly with sugar and spice.
- Fill the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Moisten the final corner with a little water to seal the edge securely.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 1 to 1.5 inches. Heat oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of wrapper sizzles upon contact.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Use tongs to remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a side of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent to avoid greasy egg rolls.
- You can use any variety of apples, but firmer types like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best.
- Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
- For a sweeter twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
- These egg rolls are best enjoyed warm and fresh from the fryer.
