Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Apple Pie Filling

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Stir and cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are tender and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Fill the Egg Roll Wrappers

Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edges with beaten egg.

Step 3: Fry or Air Fry

Frying method: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Air fryer method: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with oil and cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar and serve warm. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.

Tips & Variations

• Apple Swap: Use Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for natural sweetness.

• Make Ahead: Prepare the filling up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate.

• Baked Version: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes for a lighter option.

• Flavor Boost: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use store-bought apple pie filling?
Yes, but homemade filling tastes fresher and less sweet.
2. How do I keep egg rolls crispy?
Let them cool on a wire rack instead of a plate to avoid sogginess.
3. Can I freeze apple pie egg rolls?
Yes! Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry or air fry directly from frozen.
4. What’s the best way to reheat them?
Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
