Why You’ll Love This Apple Pie Egg Rolls Recipe

Apple Pie Egg Rolls bring together the best of both worlds: the nostalgia of homemade pie with the convenience and crunch of finger food. They cook up quickly and make for a fun twist on classic dessert fare. Plus, they store and reheat well, making them great for meal prepping a sweet snack ahead of time.

What Kind of Apples Should I Use?

Granny Smith apples are a classic choice thanks to their tartness, which balances beautifully with the sugar and cinnamon. But feel free to mix varieties—a combination of tart and sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji creates deeper flavor. The key is to use firm apples that hold their shape while cooking.

Ingredients for the Apple Pie Egg Rolls

To make the most flavorful and textured filling, you’ll want ingredients that balance sweet, tart, and warm spice. Each component adds something special to the final result.

• Apples
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Salt
• Cornstarch
• Vanilla extract
• Egg roll wrappers
• Butter
• Water

How To Make the Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Step 1: Cook the Apple Filling

Peel and dice the apples into small cubes. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized.

Step 2: Thicken the Filling

Dissolve cornstarch in a splash of water and pour it into the pan. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool slightly before assembling the rolls.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Add a couple of tablespoons of the apple filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

Step 4: Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Dust with cinnamon sugar while still warm or serve with caramel sauce for dipping.

How to Serve and Store Apple Pie Egg Rolls

These apple pie egg rolls are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the fryer with a dusting of cinnamon sugar. You can serve them with caramel sauce, whipped cream, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a full dessert experience. This recipe makes about 10 egg rolls, enough to serve 4 to 6 people comfortably.

To store, let the egg rolls cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crisp texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrappers soggy.
