Ingredients:

• 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Directions:

Step 1: Make the Apple Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are soft and caramelized. If filling is too runny, stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch and cook for another minute to thicken. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you (like a diamond). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.

Step 3: Fry or Bake

• To Fry: Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

• To Air Fry: Spray egg rolls lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.

• To Bake: Brush or spray with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes or until crispy.

Step 4: Roll in Cinnamon Sugar

While warm, roll the egg rolls in cinnamon sugar for that classic sweet finish.

Pro Tips:

• Make ahead: Prep and freeze assembled egg rolls, then fry/bake when ready.

• Flavor twist: Add a dash of nutmeg, clove, or even a few chopped pecans to the filling.

• Use leftovers: Great way to use up extra apple pie filling or even canned versions.
