Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Granny Smith apples peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil sufficient for deep frying
- Whipped cream or caramel sauce optional for serving
Instructions
- Combining Ingredients: In a medium saucepan placed over a medium-high heat setting, mix the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Creating the Filling: In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/3 cup of water. Add this mixture to the saucepan containing the apple mixture. Stir thoroughly, then bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and allow it to cook until the apples are slightly softened and the mixture has thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Cooling the Mixture: Remove the apple mixture from the heat. Incorporate the vanilla extract, then transfer the mixture into a bowl and allow it to cool completely.
- Preparation for Rolling: Ready a small dish filled with water and line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Assembling the Egg Rolls: Once the apple mixture is completely cooled, lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Using a slotted spoon, place approximately 1/4 cup of the apple mixture onto the lower third of each wrapper. Starting at the bottom, roll the egg roll upwards, folding the edges inward as you go. Dampen your finger in the water and run it along the edges to seal the egg rolls.
- Frying: Pour a depth of at least 4 inches of oil into a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot. Heat over medium-high temperature and attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pot. Once the oil reaches 360°F (182°C), carefully add 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, frying them until they are golden brown and turning them occasionally. Upon removal, transfer the egg rolls to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls, ensuring the oil returns to 360°F between each batch.
- Serving: Serve the egg rolls immediately. They can be accompanied by whipped cream or caramel sauce for dipping, if desired.
