I absolutely love desserts that bring the cozy flavors of home into a fun, bite-sized form. Recently, I tried making Apple Pie Egg Rolls Recipe, and I was instantly hooked! These golden, crispy treats are filled with warm cinnamon-spiced apples, giving you all the comfort of apple pie but in a handheld, crispy package. They’re perfect for family gatherings, parties, or just a sweet snack when you need a little pick-me-up.

Every time I make them, the aroma fills my kitchen and makes it feel instantly festive. Honestly, they taste even better than the fried apple pies I used to enjoy as a kid! You can also try similar bite-sized treats like Cheesy Chicken Crescent Rolls for a savory option alongside your sweet dessert.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful apple pie egg rolls. Each ingredient has a little tip from my experience to make them taste even better:

Filling

3 cups diced apples (about 3 medium apples, peeled) – I prefer softer varieties like Gala or Fuji for faster cooking.
4 tablespoons granulated sugar – balances the tartness of the apples perfectly.
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour – helps thicken the filling so it doesn’t leak.
¾ teaspoon cinnamon – you can adjust based on your spice preference.
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice – brightens the flavor and keeps apples from browning.

Other Ingredients

12 egg roll wrappers – store-bought ones work best for that crisp, golden texture.
Oil for frying – vegetable or canola oil works well for even frying.

Note: This recipe yields 12 apple pie egg rolls, perfect for sharing with family or friends.

Variations

If you like to switch things up or have dietary restrictions, these ideas work wonderfully:

Use a sugar substitute like coconut sugar or erythritol for a sugar-free version.
Swap the eggs in the wrapper for a dairy-free, eggless wrapper if needed.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves for a deeper spice flavor.
Mix in chopped nuts like pecans for extra crunch.
Drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness.

Prepare the Filling

Start by combining the diced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir everything together until the apples are evenly coated and the mixture looks thick and glossy.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay out the egg roll wrappers and place about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, using a little water to seal the edges so the filling doesn’t leak during frying.

Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat the oil to 350°F in a frying pan or deep fryer. Carefully fry each egg roll for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with tongs and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Add Finishing Touches

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce while warm. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Additional Tips for Making this Recipe Better

From my experience, these tips make a noticeable difference:

I like to dice the apples small so they cook evenly and fit nicely in the wrapper.
Rolling the egg rolls tightly prevents the filling from leaking and makes frying safer.
Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; it ensures each roll cooks evenly.
I sometimes preheat the filling slightly in the microwave to make assembly easier.

How to Serve Apple Pie Egg Rolls Recipe?

These egg rolls are perfect as a dessert or snack. I love serving them warm with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of homemade caramel. For a festive touch, place them on a decorative plate with some cinnamon sticks or apple slices as garnish. They’re also great paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing: You can store cooked egg rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.

Freezing: Wrap individual egg rolls in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Fry or bake directly from frozen for a quick dessert.

Reheating: I prefer reheating in an oven rather than a microwave to keep them crispy. A few minutes at 350°F works perfectly.
