What You’ll Need

3 cups (13.5oz/390g) apples, peeled and ¼ inch diced (approx. 2-3 apples)
4 tablespoons sugar (2oz/55g)
2 teaspoons cornflour (or cornstarch as a substitute)
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, scrambled for egg wash
Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

How to Make Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cornflour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well until evenly coated.
Assemble the rolls: Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper tightly. Use a dab of water to secure the tip of the wrapper. Tip: Ensure the sides are tucked in to hold the filling securely.
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare for baking: Place the rolls on a baking sheet. Brush each roll with the scrambled egg wash and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm. Enjoy!

Sauce and Topping Ideas to Elevate Your Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Take your Apple Pie Egg Rolls to the next level with some delicious sauces and toppings! Drizzle with warm caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert twist. For a tangy contrast, try a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. If you’re feeling adventurous, a dusting of crushed nuts or a side of cinnamon-spiced yogurt dip can add extra texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions for a Crowd-Pleasing Treat

Serve your Apple Pie Egg Rolls warm for the best experience! Arrange them on a platter with a side of dipping sauce for a fun party snack. Pair them with a cup of hot coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat. These rolls also make a great addition to a dessert buffet—just add a few skewers or toothpicks for easy grabbing!

Storage and Reheating Tips for Freshness

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrappers soggy. For longer storage, freeze the unbaked rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag—bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Recipe Variations to Keep Things Interesting

Switch up the flavors by adding raisins, chopped nuts, or a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling. For a tropical twist, swap apples with diced pineapple or mango. If you’re gluten-free, use gluten-free egg roll wrappers or even crepes. Feeling indulgent? Dip the baked rolls in melted chocolate for a decadent finish!

Time-Saving Tips for Busy Bakers

To save time, prep the apple filling the night before and store it in the fridge. Use pre-peeled and diced apples from the store if you’re short on time. If you’re making a large batch, enlist a helper to roll the wrappers while you prep the filling. These little shortcuts can make the process faster and more enjoyable!
