- Apples: I recommend using Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples. They have a nice balance of tartness and sweetness. Choose apples that feel firm and are free from blemishes. This ensures your filling has great texture and flavor. - Spices and Sweeteners: You will need cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Cinnamon adds warmth and depth. Nutmeg gives a subtle earthiness. Brown sugar brings out the sweetness and adds a slight caramel flavor. Mix these well with the apples for a rich taste. - Egg roll wrappers and frying oil: Look for fresh egg roll wrappers in your grocery store. They should be smooth and pliable. For frying, use vegetable oil. It has a high smoke point, which is perfect for crispy egg rolls. These ingredients will help create the perfect Apple Pie Egg Rolls.

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly. Assembling the egg rolls Grab an egg roll wrapper and lay it on a clean surface. Make sure one point of the wrapper is facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of your cooled apple filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom point over the filling. Next, fold in the sides, and then roll it upwards to seal the egg roll. Use a little water on your fingers to wet the edges. This helps seal the egg roll securely. Repeat these steps with the remaining wrappers and filling. Frying the egg rolls to perfection In a deep pan or pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of leftover wrapper in. If it sizzles, you’re ready! Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let them drain on paper towels. After they cool slightly, dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. For a special treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

8 egg roll wrappers

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the apple mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one point facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the center of the wrapper.

        Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll upwards to seal the egg roll. Use a little water on your fingers to seal the edges securely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

          In a deep pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of leftover egg roll wrapper in; it should sizzle immediately.
