Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens and the peaches are softened. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
2. Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the peach mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Carefully fold the sides of the wrapper over the peach filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
5. Once the egg rolls are fried, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

• Nutty Filling: Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the peach filling for added texture and flavor.

• Spiced Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling for a little extra warmth and spice.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches for this recipe?

Yes, canned peaches work well for this recipe. Just be sure to drain them thoroughly before using them to avoid excess moisture.

How do I seal the egg roll wrappers?

To seal the egg rolls, moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water and press the seams to secure them. This will prevent the filling from leaking out while frying.

Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying them?

How do I prevent the egg rolls from bursting open while frying?

Make sure to tightly seal the edges of the egg rolls, and be cautious not to overfill them. If you’re worried about bursting, you can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

Can I use store-bought pie filling instead of fresh peaches?

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the peach filling and fill the egg rolls ahead of time. Store the filled egg rolls in the fridge for a few hours before frying them for the best results.

How long should I fry the egg rolls for?
