📝 Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala work best)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry, for thickening)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples
    • Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
  2. Cook the Filling
    • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
    • Add apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
    • Stir until the apples soften (about 5–7 minutes).
    • Add the cornstarch slurry and cook another 1–2 minutes until thickened.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the Egg Rolls
    • Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you like a diamond.
    • Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of apple filling onto the center.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
    • Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat for all wrappers.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls
    • Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry 2–3 egg rolls at a time until golden brown (2–3 minutes per side).
    • Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve
    • Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
    • Serve warm with caramel sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream.
