Cook Notes
Apples: Granny Smith apples work well for their tartness, but you can also use Honeycrisp or Fuji for a sweeter filling.
Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is at 350°F (175°C) before frying to ensure the egg rolls cook evenly and get crispy without absorbing excess oil.
Sealing the Wrapper: Use a dab of water to seal the edge of the wrapper tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
Variations
1. Baked Apple Pie Egg Rolls
For a healthier version, brush the assembled egg rolls with melted butter and bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
2. Caramel Apple Egg Rolls
Add 1/4 cup caramel sauce to the apple filling mixture for a rich caramel flavor. You can also drizzle extra caramel sauce over the fried egg rolls.
3. Apple Pie Cheesecake Egg Rolls
Add 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese to each egg roll before adding the apple filling for a creamy twist on this classic treat.
Serving Suggestions
Ice Cream: Serve the egg rolls warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic apple pie pairing.
Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra sweetness and flavor.
Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an indulgent finish.
