Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup water

For Wrapping and Frying

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Serving (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. This mixture will form the flavorful filling for your egg rolls.
  2. Thicken the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/3 cup water, then add it to the apple mixture. Stir to combine, then bring it to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer; cook for about 5 minutes until the apples soften slightly and the mixture thickens.
  3. Cool the filling: Remove the pan from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Let it cool completely before using, ensuring it holds together during rolling.
  4. Prepare for rolling: Fill a small dish with water to help seal the egg rolls. Line a baking sheet with paper towels to drain the fried rolls later.
  5. Roll the egg rolls: Once filling is cooled, lay out egg roll wrappers on a dry work surface. Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/4 cup of apple filling on the lower third of each wrapper. Fold in the sides, roll up tightly from the bottom, and seal the edges by running a moistened finger around them.
  6. Heat the oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add vegetable oil to a depth of about 4 inches. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 360°F (182°C).
  7. Fry the egg rolls: Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Maintain oil temperature between batches.
  8. Serve: Serve the apple pie egg rolls immediately, optionally with whipped cream or caramel sauce for dipping, to enjoy them at their crispiest.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness which balances the sweetness of the filling.
  • Make sure the apple filling is completely cool before rolling to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy or tearing.
  • Maintain oil temperature between batches to ensure even frying and crispy texture.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
  • For a healthier version, consider baking the egg rolls at 400°F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
