Ingredients

🥒 6 Granny Smith apples (peeled and diced)
🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
🍯 1/2 cup brown sugar
🍯 1/2 cup regular sugar
🍂 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
🌿 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
🧂 1/8 teaspoon salt
🥛 Water (for sealing the egg rolls)
🥢 12 egg roll wrappers
🛢️ Oil (for frying)
🍯 1/2 cup of regular sugar (for coating)
🌿 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

1- Prep the Apples:

Start by peeling and dicing the 6 Granny Smith apples to ensure even cooking.

2- Cook the Filling:

Heat a pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt.
Add the diced apples, along with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of regular sugar, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3- Fill the Egg Rolls:

Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place about a heaping tablespoon of the cooled apple mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the right and left corners towards the center. Continue to roll tightly until sealed. Repeat for all wrappers.

4- Fry the Egg Rolls:

Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. Carefully place the wrapped egg rolls in the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

5- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:

While the egg rolls are frying, mix 1/2 cup of regular sugar with 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon in a shallow dish.
Once the egg rolls are golden, remove them from the oil, drain on paper towels briefly, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.

6- Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm. Enjoy the delightful crunch and the juicy, spiced apple filling!
