Description
Apple Pie Egg Rolls are a quick and easy handheld dessert filled with warm, cinnamon-spiced apple pie filling, wrapped in a crispy, golden shell. Perfect for when you crave the flavor of apple pie without the hassle of baking.
Ingredients
2 cups apple pie filling (homemade or canned, chopped if chunky)
8 egg roll wrappers
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar (or sugar substitute)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Optional: caramel sauce or powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the apple pie filling with cinnamon and sugar.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, positioned like a diamond with a corner facing you.
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of the apple filling to the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers.
- Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with caramel sauce.
Notes
Add nutmeg or allspice for a deeper fall flavor.
To bake instead of fry, brush with melted butter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
Try variations with peach or cherry pie filling.
Roll in cinnamon sugar after frying for extra crunch.
Add a small spoonful of cream cheese before sealing for a creamy twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
Freeze before frying and cook straight from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to frying time.
