Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)
Egg Rolls
- 22–24 egg roll wrappers
- cooking oil or cooking spray
Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup caramel topping, warmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- 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).
- 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.
- Spread cream cheese: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of room temperature cream cheese onto the center of each egg roll wrapper.
- Add apple mixture: Top the cream cheese with about 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple filling, spreading it evenly without overfilling.
- Wet edges: Using water, moisten the edges of the egg roll wrappers to help seal them during rolling.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: While the egg rolls are baking, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow plate.
- 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.
- 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.
