Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Peel, core, and dice the apples. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- In a deep fryer or large heavy skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- 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.
