Egg Roll Wrappers
12wrappersEgg roll wrappers, store-boughtKeep covered to prevent drying out.
Frying Oil
2cupsOil for fryingVegetable oil, peanut oil, or canola oil, heated to 350°F (175°C).
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly so they soften quickly during cooking.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir constantly and cook until the apples are tender and the sugar has mostly dissolved, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the apple mixture to cool to room temperature.
Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward you. Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold both left and right corners in toward the center. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a little water.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per batch.
Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with optional toppings like powdered sugar or caramel sauce.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes.
