Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 2 cups diced fresh or canned peaches, drained
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
- Oil for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the peach filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir frequently and cook until peaches soften and the mixture becomes fragrant.
- Thicken the filling: Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the peach mixture and stir continuously until it thickens. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly to enclose, sealing the edges with a bit of water to prevent opening while frying. Repeat this process with all wrappers.
- Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the proper temperature for frying.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain excess oil and coat: Remove the fried egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, brush each egg roll lightly with melted butter, then roll them in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Optionally dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar and serve warm. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
- You can bake or air fry the egg rolls instead of deep frying for a lighter version.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
- Canned peaches work well but be sure to drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
- Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent to achieve perfectly crispy egg rolls.
- Egg roll wrappers seal better with water; avoid using too much to prevent sogginess.
