INGREDIENTS NEEDED (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR THE FULL RECIPE CARD):
- Egg roll wrappers
- Apple pie filling
- Granulated sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Caramel sauce
- All-purpose flour
- Water
HOW TO MAKE CARAMEL APPLE PIE EGG ROLLS:
- Whisk the water and all-purpose flour in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
- Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean work surface with a pointy end facing you. Place ⅓ cup of the apple pie filling at the bottom third of the wrapper.
- Take the bottom corner and fold it up over the filling. Dip your finger into the flour mixture and run it along the exposed edges of the wrapper.
- Tuck both edges of the wrapper over the filling. Keep tightly rolling until you make a little log, and everything is sealed. Place on a plate while you continue rolling the rest of the egg rolls.
- Heat a deep fryer or Dutch oven with 4 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.
- In a small, shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Very carefully place some egg rolls into the hot oil, do not crowd the fryer, only do a couple at a time, and fry until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Make sure to flip them often so they brown evenly.
- Using tongs, remove one of the eggrolls and let any excess oil drip off. Immediately place it into the cinnamon sugar and roll it around until coated.
- Place the coated eggroll on a wire rack over a sheet tray to catch excess cinnamon sugar that may fall off.
- Repeat with the remaining eggrolls and serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
CAN I USE HOMEMADE PIE FILLING?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade apple pie filling, go for it. It’ll only make your egg rolls more delicious.
WHAT KIND OF WRAPPERS DO I NEED?
For this recipe, we recommend using egg roll wrappers. They are readily available in most grocery stores in the refrigerated section.
DO I HAVE TO USE A DEEP FRYER?
A deep fryer is great for achieving a uniform golden brown color, but it’s not mandatory.
You can also use a large skillet with enough oil to cover the egg rolls.
Alternatively, if you have an air fryer, you can make air fryer apple pie egg rolls.
ANY ADDITIONS?
Sure thing! This is a great recipe to adjust to your own taste!
- Drizzle some chocolate sauce along with caramel sauce for a chocolatey twist.
- Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an apple pie a la mode experience.
- You can add a dash of nutmeg or apple pie spice to the apple pie filling for an extra kick of flavor.
- A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top adds an extra touch of sweetness.
- A sprinkle of sea salt on top can balance the sweetness and add a surprising twist.
- For an added crunch, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to your apple filling.
- You can also add some raisins or dried cranberries to the filling for a different texture.
- Serve with whipped cream for a lighter, creamy contrast.
- Grate some fresh apple into the filling for added freshness.
- Add a dash of lemon juice to the apple pie filling for a hint of tanginess.
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
Always! With such an easy recipe, you can always make adjustments.
- You can substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- If you don’t have apple pie filling, a mix of diced fresh apples, sugar, and cinnamon can work too.
- Substitute egg roll wrappers with spring roll wrappers if that’s what you have on hand. They’ll be thinner but still tasty.
- If you want to avoid deep frying, try baking or air frying, though the texture will differ.
- You can use gluten-free wrappers and gluten-free flour if you’re catering to dietary restrictions.
- For a vegan version, use a vegan caramel sauce.
HOW TO STORE:
Refrigerator: Let your egg rolls cool, then place them in an airtight container. They can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing leftover apple pie egg rolls as the texture may not hold up well when thawed and reheated.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Make sure the egg roll is completely sealed before frying to avoid the filling leaking out.
- Don’t overcrowd the deep fryer or skillet, fry them in batches if needed.
- Always let the egg rolls cool a bit before rolling them in cinnamon sugar to avoid burning yourself.
- If you’re serving these at a party, prepare the rolls beforehand and fry them up when you’re ready to serve.
- Use a clean work surface for rolling to avoid any sticking or tearing.
- Always remember to store leftover egg rolls in the fridge and reheat them in the oven or air fryer for best results.
Apple Pie Egg Rolls are a sweet and fun dessert that you will love making and sharing. Remember, the key to a perfect apple pie egg roll is a crispy wrapper, a delicious apple pie filling, and a good roll to seal all that yumminess inside.
