Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced Choose tart apples for the best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice To prevent browning of apples.
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch Mixed with water to thicken filling.
  • 1 tablespoon water
Assembly and Frying
  • 10-12 pieces egg roll wrappers
  • Water or egg wash, for sealing
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar or caramel sauce, for topping Optional, for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the apples are softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water (cornstarch slurry) and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assembly
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water or egg wash.
Cooking
  1. In a deep fryer or large heavy skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to regain crispiness.
