Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
For the Egg Rolls:
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
- Optional for serving: powdered sugar, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are softened. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Spoon apple mixture onto an egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with water. Repeat for remaining wrappers.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil to 350°F in a skillet. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a baked version, brush the rolls with melted butter and bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Air frying at 375°F for 10–12 minutes is also an option.
