Ingredients
Scale
Apple 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
Egg Rolls
- 22–24 egg roll wrappers
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)
- Cooking oil or cooking spray, for brushing
Topping and Dipping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup caramel topping, warmed, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for baking the egg rolls.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a medium bowl, combine finely diced Granny Smith apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well to evenly coat the apples. Set aside until ready to fill the egg rolls.
- Assemble egg rolls: On a clean work surface, lay out one egg roll wrapper at a time. Spread about 2 teaspoons of room temperature cream cheese in the center of each wrapper, then top with approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple mixture.
- Moisten edges: Use a small amount of water to wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper. This will help seal the egg rolls securely during rolling.
- Roll the egg rolls: Fold up the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then roll once to enclose. Fold in the left and right corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling until the filling is completely wrapped and edges are pressed to seal the roll.
- Prepare for baking: Place the rolled egg rolls seam side down onto the lined baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the outside with cooking oil or spray for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake the egg rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown, flipping the egg rolls halfway through to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Make the cinnamon sugar topping: While the egg rolls bake, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a shallow dish.
- Coat the baked egg rolls: Immediately after removing from the oven, roll each hot egg roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for a sweet, crunchy exterior.
- Serve: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm with a side of warmed caramel sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon in the filling and topping according to your taste preferences.
- Use a damp finger or brush to moisten the wrapper edges for proper sealing to avoid leakage during baking.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray before baking.
- Use a sharp knife to finely dice apples to avoid large chunks that can cause tearing of the wrapper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
