Ingredients

  • 3 cups peeled and diced apples about 3 apples, use a softer variety
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying vegetable, canola or peanut oil
  • Powdered sugar for dusting optional
  • Caramel sauce for dipping/drizzling optional

Instructions

  • Make the apple pie filling by combining the diced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper out in a diamond shape. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the apple filling towards the bottom third of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in both sides and continue rolling up into a tight log shape. Use a dab of water to seal the edge and secure the roll closed.
  • Heat 2-3 inches of oil to 350°F in a heavy bottomed pan, pot or deep fryer.
  • Carefully add 2-3 egg rolls at a time to the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally.
  • Transfer the crispy apple pie egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Dust warm egg rolls with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with caramel sauce for dipping.
