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

Egg Rolls

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional Serving

  • Whipped cream or caramel sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. This step ensures the apples start cooking and absorb the warm spices.
  2. Thicken the Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/3 cup water until smooth, then add to the apple mixture. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until apples soften slightly and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cool the Apple Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in vanilla extract, then transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely. Cooling is crucial so the filling won’t seep through the wrappers during frying.
  4. Prepare Wrappers and Seal Egg Rolls: Arrange egg roll wrappers on a dry surface. Using a slotted spoon, place about 1/4 cup of the cooled apple mixture onto the lower third of each wrapper. Roll up from the bottom, folding in edges to enclose filling. Wet your finger with water and run it along the edges to seal the egg rolls tightly.
  5. Heat Oil for Frying: Pour at least 4 inches of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot and heat over medium-high. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 360°F to ensure even frying.
  6. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls to the hot oil, frying and turning occasionally until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat for remaining egg rolls, maintaining oil temperature at 360°F between batches.
  7. Serve: Serve egg rolls warm immediately with whipped cream or caramel sauce as a dipping option for a luscious finish.
  8. Enjoy and Share: Don’t forget to give your feedback or a star rating if you loved this apple pie twist!

Notes

  • Make sure the apple filling is completely cooled before wrapping to prevent soggy egg roll wrappers.
  • Keep the oil temperature steady at 360°F to ensure the egg rolls cook evenly and don’t absorb excess oil.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove egg rolls carefully to keep oil from dripping into the pot.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; the wrappers will crisp best fresh from the fryer.
  • Granny Smith apples are ideal for their tartness and firmness, but you can substitute with Honeycrisp or Fuji apples if preferred.
