Apple Pie Egg Rolls
These crispy apple pie egg rolls are a simple dessert that's baked or fried. Topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, each bite is irresistible!
Servings: 10 apple pie egg rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups diced apples (360g)
- 1/4 cup sugar or pure maple syrup, or a sugar free substitute (48g)
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tsp lemon juice (10g)
- 2 tbsp salted butter (optional) or 1/16 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (8g)
- 2 tbsp water (30g)
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- oil or cooking spray as needed
Instructions
- 1. Stir the diced apples, sweetener, lemon juice, cinnamon, butter or salt, and optional nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat until the apples soften, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Whisk cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to form a slurry.
- 3. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan. Stir constantly for about 1 minute or until apple filling is thick.
- 4. Remove from the heat and let cool, then refrigerate filling loosely covered with a cloth or paper towel until cold (or overnight).
- 5. Place around 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the middle of an uncooked egg roll wrapper. Fold up the sides tightly, and brush water along the edges to seal in the apples.
- 6. Brush with oil, or spray with nonfat cooking spray. Use one of the following cooking methods.
- If deep frying: Heat about 3 inches of vegetable or coconut oil in a heavy bottom pan or deep fryer to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius). Drop 2 rolls at a time into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes or until crispy. Remove with tongs and let cool on a plate lined with paper towels.
- If air frying: Preheat the air fryer to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius). Place rolls in a single layer and cook 7 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes or until golden.
- If baking: Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius). Arrange the apple pie egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly brown with caramelized filling.
- Serve the apple pie egg rolls with a dusting of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
