Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious Apple Pie Egg Rolls:

• Granny Smith apples: Peeled, cored, and finely diced, for a tart and slightly sweet filling.
• Light brown sugar: Packed, adds sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor.
• Ground cinnamon: Adds warmth and spice to the filling.
• Cornstarch: Helps thicken the apple filling.
• Egg roll wrappers: Used to wrap the filling.
• Cream cheese: Room temperature, adds a creamy and tangy element to the filling.
• Cooking oil or cooking spray: For brushing the egg rolls before baking.

For the Topping:

• Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create a crispy coating.
• Ground cinnamon: Adds warmth and spice.
• Caramel sauce: Warmed, for dipping.

How to Make Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Apple Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

On a clean work surface, lay out the egg roll wrappers. Spread about 2 teaspoons of softened cream cheese in the center of each wrapper. Top with about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling.

Step 4: Roll the Egg Rolls

To roll the egg rolls, first, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling. Roll the wrapper once to enclose the filling. Then, fold in the right and left corners of the wrapper towards the center, overlapping them slightly. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water to help seal the egg roll. Continue rolling the egg roll tightly until the filling is completely enclosed.

Step 5: Bake

Place the rolled egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the egg rolls with cooking oil or spray them with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the egg rolls halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.

Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While the egg rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping. In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Once the egg rolls are baked, immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the warm Apple Pie Egg Rolls with a side of warm caramel sauce for dipping.
