Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Filling:
- 1 large can peach slices, drained
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 splash fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wrappers and Sealing:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Dice peaches into uniform small chunks for consistent cooking and texture.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, create a thickening sauce by dissolving cornstarch in water, then incorporate peaches and granulated sugar.
- Simmer the peach mixture until it reaches a rich, dense consistency, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Enhance the filling by gently mixing in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
- Allow the peach mixture to cool completely, which helps prevent wrapper sogginess and intensifies flavor.
- Lay egg roll wrappers flat on a clean surface, positioning them like diamond shapes for easier rolling.
- Spoon the cooled peach mixture near one corner of each wrapper, leaving space around the edges for secure folding.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in side corners to create tight edges.
- Roll the wrapper tightly, using beaten egg as a sealing adhesive to prevent unraveling during baking.
- Brush the exterior of each roll generously with melted butter for a golden, crisp finish.
- Combine brown sugar and remaining cinnamon, then thoroughly coat the buttered rolls for a caramelized exterior.
- Arrange rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not touching each other.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the rolls achieve a deep golden-brown color and crispy texture.
Notes
- Use ripe, soft peaches for maximum sweetness and easier chopping, ensuring a more flavorful filling.
- Drain excess liquid from peach mixture to prevent soggy egg rolls and maintain crispy texture.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- For gluten-free version, swap traditional egg roll wrappers with rice paper or gluten-free alternatives.
