Recently, I made Southwest Egg Rolls in my air fryer. They were amazing but I had leftover egg roll wrappers, so that got me wondering what I could do with them to use them up. Egg roll wrappers are a very versatile product. I hadn’t really thought of them this way prior to having an air fryer. I decided to take the two granny smith apples I had and make little apple pie egg rolls with them. They turned out so great and they were so easy to make. Just the perfect tasty little sweet dessert after dinner. These would make an awesome appetizer as well!
Ingredients
2 cups granny smith apples peeled and cut into small chunks
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg roll wrappers
olive oil
raw sugar also known as Turbinado sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, toss the apple chunks in flour.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often until the apples are slightly softened.
Divide the mixture between four egg roll wrappers, about 1/4 cup each in the center then spread the filling from corner to corner.
Fold the corner closest to you up over the filling and do the same to the opposite corner. Fold one of the remaining sides up. Continue rolling into an egg roll shape, but do not roll all the way. Leave a small portion unrolled for now.
Dip a pastry brush (or your finger) into a small bowl of water and moisten the unrolled corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed.
Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers and filling. Set aside until ready to cook.
Spritz each egg roll with olive oil generously on both sides and sprinkle with raw sugar.
Cook at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove to paper towels. Serve immediately with ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
