Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying (can substitute with canola or peanut oil)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, warmed
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Filling: Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples soften but hold shape. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooled apple filling near the corner closest to you. Fold corner over filling, fold side corners inward, and roll tightly. Brush far corner with beaten egg and seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to about 2 inches depth. Heat to 350°F (175°C). Test oil readiness by dropping a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle and float.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Turn gently with tongs or slotted spoon. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
  5. Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt granulated sugar while stirring constantly until amber liquid forms. Add cubed butter and whisk until smooth. Slowly add warmed heavy cream while whisking. Simmer 1-2 minutes until thickened. Stir in sea salt if desired. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  6. Serve: Plate warm apple pie egg rolls and drizzle generously with caramel sauce. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Let the apple filling cool completely before assembling to prevent soggy wrappers. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best frying results. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding. Caramel sauce can be made ahead and warmed before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free egg roll or rice paper wrappers. For dairy-free caramel, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
