Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 ounces / 595 grams) apple pie filling, chopped if desired
- 7 egg roll wrappers
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon water
- Caramel sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Create a sticky flour paste by whisking water and flour in a small bowl until smooth, then set aside for sealing egg rolls later.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, mixing thoroughly to create a sweet coating for the fried egg rolls.
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, placing apple pie filling near the bottom corner closest to you.
- Fold the bottom point of the wrapper upward, completely covering the apple filling, ensuring a snug fit.
- Apply the flour paste along the wrapper’s edges, then carefully fold the side corners inward to prevent filling from escaping.
- Roll the wrapper tightly into a compact log, pressing gently to seal the edges completely with the flour mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or dutch oven to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature for even cooking.
- Carefully lower 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes until they transform into a golden, crispy exterior.
- Using tongs, remove egg rolls and immediately transfer them to the cinnamon sugar mixture, rotating to coat evenly.
- Place the sugar-coated egg rolls on a wire rack to allow excess oil to drip away, then serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying, ensuring a crispy and intact egg roll.
- Adjust apple pie filling consistency by draining excess liquid to avoid soggy wrappers and maintain a perfect crunch.
- Use room temperature egg roll wrappers for easier folding and better sealing, preventing potential tearing.
- For a lighter version, consider baking the egg rolls at 425F for 15-20 minutes, brushing with olive oil for a golden exterior.
