Description

These apple pie egg rolls pack all the cozy flavors of classic apple pie into a crispy, handheld treat perfect for parties or quick desserts. Soft, cinnamon-spiced apples are wrapped in crunchy egg roll wrappers and finished with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred, peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 12 egg roll wrappers (about 6-inch square)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Spray oil or neutral oil (for baking or frying)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • Caramel sauce (optional, for dipping)
  • Chocolate sauce or vanilla ice cream (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and dice 2 large apples.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Add diced apples, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 tsp salt.
  4. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until apples are soft but not mushy.
  5. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tsp lemon juice and add to apples; cook 1 more minute until thickened. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface.
  7. Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp water to make egg wash.
  8. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of cooled apple filling just below the center of each wrapper.
  9. Brush edges with egg wash.
  10. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the end with more egg wash. Repeat for all wrappers.
  11. For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange egg rolls seam-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray lightly with oil. Bake 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
  12. For frying: Heat 1 inch oil in pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls 2-3 minutes per side, until deep golden. Drain on paper towels.
  13. For air fryer: Arrange egg rolls in basket, spray lightly with oil, and cook at 380°F (193°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping once.
  14. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl.
  15. While egg rolls are hot, roll them in cinnamon sugar until coated.
  16. Let cool for 5 minutes on a rack. Serve with caramel or your favorite dip.

Notes

Cool the apple filling before rolling to prevent soggy wrappers. Seal edges tightly with egg wash to avoid leaks. For extra crunch, bake an additional 2 minutes. Use rice paper wrappers for gluten-free, and vegan butter plus skip egg wash for vegan. Serve warm for best texture; reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
