Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or allspice

Assembly & Coating

  • 12–16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Frying

  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil), enough for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and finely dice the apples. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat, then add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and optional spices like nutmeg or allspice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but not mushy. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cooled apple filling into the center of each wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to ensure they stay closed during frying.
  3. Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the egg rolls are still warm, toss them in a bowl of cinnamon sugar or sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top, allowing the warm rolls to absorb the sweet coating.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Seal the edges well with water or egg wash for a tight seal.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for perfect crispiness without burning.
  • Let the apple filling cool before filling the wrappers to avoid soggy egg rolls.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar fresh before coating to retain optimal flavor and texture.
