Ingredients

• 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 3½ cups)
• ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon cornstarch
• 22-24 egg roll wrappers
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)
• Cooking oil or cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• ½ cup caramel topping, warmed (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
3. Step 3: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of cream cheese in the center of each wrapper.
4. Step 4: Top the cream cheese with about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture.
5. Step 5: Wet the edges of each wrapper with water to help seal.
6. Step 6: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then roll once to begin enclosing the mixture.
7. Step 7: Fold in the right and left corners toward the center, pressing gently to seal. Continue rolling until the filling is fully enclosed, making sure edges are sealed to prevent leaks.
8. Step 8: Place the rolled egg rolls onto the prepared baking sheet and brush or spray each with cooking oil.
9. Step 9: Bake for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
10. Step 10: While baking, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish for the topping.
11. Step 11: As soon as the egg rolls come out of the oven, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
12. Step 12: Serve warm with warmed caramel topping for dipping or drizzling.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
• You can swap Granny Smith apples for other firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
• Try frying the egg rolls instead of baking for an even crispier texture.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative.

Storage

Store any leftover apple pie egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the wrappers soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare the egg rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the egg rolls and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Cover them with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?

Phyllo dough or spring roll wrappers can be good substitutes, but be sure to adjust baking times accordingly as they may brown faster.

Filling

• 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 3½ cups)
• ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed

• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)

Egg Rolls

Topping

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dipping Sauce

• ½ cup caramel topping, warmed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Prepare apple filling: In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated and set aside the mixture (about 3½ cups).
3. Arrange egg roll wrappers: On a clean work surface, lay out one egg roll wrapper at a time, positioning it so a corner points towards you.
4. Spread cream cheese: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of room temperature cream cheese onto the center of each egg roll wrapper.
5. Add apple mixture: Top the cream cheese with about 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple filling, spreading it evenly without overfilling.
6. Wet edges: Using water, moisten the edges of the egg roll wrappers to help seal them during rolling.
7. Roll the egg rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then roll once to encase the mixture. Next, fold in the left and right corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling tightly until the filling is fully enclosed, pressing the edges to seal completely. Repeat for all wrappers.
8. Prepare for baking: Place the rolled egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops and sides with cooking oil to ensure crispiness while baking.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
10. Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: While the egg rolls are baking, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow plate.
11. Coat egg rolls: As soon as the egg rolls come out of the oven, roll each one thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
12. Serve with caramel sauce: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm alongside the warmed caramel topping for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading.
• Do not overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting while baking.
• Spraying the egg rolls with oil helps them get crispy in the oven without frying.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple filling.
• These egg rolls are best served warm and fresh for optimal crispiness.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
