How To Make Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Making Apple Pie Egg Rolls is an adventure in flavor and texture. Here’s how to bring this delightful dessert to life:
- Fruit Preparation: To make a fragrant base, first boil the apples with sugar and cinnamon.
- Thinning the Mix: Water and cornstarch combine to create a rich, pie-like filling out of the fruit.
- Allowing the mixture to cool is an essential step in achieving the ideal consistency of the filling.
- Wrapper Prep: To seal these adorable tiny packages of joy, a little water serves as the “glue.”
- Folding and Filling: Divide the filling into small portions and firmly encase them within the egg roll wrappers.
- Fry to Perfection: To ensure a crispy exterior, fry the rolls until brown.
- Serving with Style: For a full dessert experience, serve these golden beauties with a side of caramel sauce or whipped cream.
Storage Options
While they can be preserved, fresh is the finest way to eat apple pie egg rolls. They will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but their crispness may decrease. Put them back in the oven to reheat and restore some of that delicious crunch. Sadly, since freezing can drastically alter the texture, it is not advised.

- Swap the sugar with brown sugar or maple syrup for something sweeter.
- Vegan-Compatible: Make use of nondairy dip and plant-based wrappers.
- Baked, Not Fried: Bake the egg rolls until they turn golden brown for a healthy alternative.
