How to Make Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Making Apple Pie Egg Rolls is a three-step process: prepare the filling, wrap the egg rolls, and cook them.
Start by preparing the filling. You will need 2-3 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced. In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, then add the diced apples. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Stir and cook until the apples are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
Next, take your egg roll wrappers. Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Add a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners and roll it up tightly. Repeat this for each wrapper until you use the filling.
For the final step, you can either fry or bake the egg rolls. If frying, heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), brush the rolls with melted butter, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until crispy.
How to Serve Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Apple Pie Egg Rolls are delicious on their own, but you can make them even better with some simple serving ideas. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side adds a creamy touch that balances the warm flavors of the egg rolls. You can also serve them with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
For a festive touch, serve them with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. You can even add a scoop of apple pie filling if you want a double dose of apple goodness.
These egg rolls are perfect for parties. Arrange them on a platter for guests to enjoy as finger food. They also make a wonderful dessert after a hearty meal. For a breakfast treat, consider pairing them with coffee or tea for a sweet start to the day.
No matter how you choose to serve Apple Pie Egg Rolls, they are sure to be a hit with everyone.
How to Store Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Storing Apple Pie Egg Rolls is straightforward. If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. Stored this way, they can last for up to three days in the refrigerator.
If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Before cooking, you can freeze the filled, unbaked egg rolls. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place them in the freezer until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to three months in the freezer.
When you’re ready to enjoy them, you can cook them straight from the freezer. For fried egg rolls, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. For baked egg rolls, increase the baking time slightly and keep an eye on them to ensure they cook evenly.
Storing Apple Pie Egg Rolls properly ensures you can enjoy the flavors of this delicious dessert anytime you want.
Tips to Make Apple Pie Egg Rolls
To ensure your Apple Pie Egg Rolls turn out great, here are some helpful tips. First, choose the right variety of apples. Granny Smith apples work well because they hold their shape and have a nice tartness that balances the sweetness.
Second, do not overfill the egg rolls. Adding too much filling can make it difficult to seal them properly. Stick to about one tablespoon of filling for each egg roll.
If you decide to fry the egg rolls, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding them. You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
If baking, give the egg rolls a good brush with melted butter to achieve that nice golden color. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra flavor.
Lastly, enjoy experimenting! Feel free to add nuts, raisins, or even cream cheese into the filling for a twist on this recipe. Customizing the filling can make your Apple Pie Egg Rolls unique and even more delicious.
Variation
While the classic Apple Pie Egg Rolls are delightful, you can try other fillings as well. Consider making Cherry Pie Egg Rolls or Pumpkin Pie Egg Rolls for a seasonal twist. You can also create a mixed fruit version with berries or peaches for a fruity explosion.
FAQs
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and even wrap the egg rolls ahead of time. Just store them in the fridge or freeze them until you’re ready to cook.
2. Are Apple Pie Egg Rolls best fried or baked?
Both methods are delicious! Frying gives a crispy, golden exterior, while baking is a healthier option. It depends on your personal preference.
3. Can I use store-bought pie filling?
Absolutely! Using store-bought apple pie filling can save time. Just make sure to drain it properly if it’s too wet to prevent soggy egg rolls.
