This fun recipe mixes sweet peaches with a crispy egg roll shell—talk about a tasty twist! It’s like enjoying peach cobbler, but in a portable, munchable form!
Making these is a blast! I love how I can customize the filling with spices. Plus, frying them is a great excuse to enjoy that warm, crunchy goodness right away!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches are best for flavor! If they’re out of season, canned peaches work too, just be sure to drain them well. You might also try using other fruits like nectarines or berries for a twist.
Sugar: The sugar helps balance the tartness of the peaches. If you want a healthier option, try using honey or maple syrup—just adjust the amount to your taste since they’re sweeter!
Spices: Ground cinnamon and nutmeg are classic, but feel free to add some ginger or cardamom for an extra punch. You can even skip the spices if you’re looking for a simpler flavor.
Egg Roll Wrappers: These hold everything together! If you can’t find them, try using spring roll wrappers or even homemade dough. You could also opt for a gluten-free brand if needed.
Vanilla Ice Cream: It pairs wonderfully with the warm egg rolls. For a dairy-free version, consider coconut or almond milk ice cream which complements the peaches nicely.
How Do I Seal Egg Rolls Properly?
Sealing the egg rolls is crucial to keep the filling inside while frying. After rolling, dab some water or a cornstarch mixture along the edge. It acts like glue, sealing everything in place.
- Make sure to roll tightly without too much pressure, creating a snug but not bursting wrap.
- Check for any gaps—these can leak during frying. If you find any, patch them up with more water.
Remember, practice makes perfect! The more you wrap, the easier it gets. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
Easy Homemade Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or use canned peaches, drained)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and around 10 minutes to fry. You’ll have warm and crispy peach cobbler egg rolls ready in about 25 minutes!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix the diced peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well combined, and set the bowl aside while you prepare the wrappers.
2. Roll the Egg Rolls:
Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner facing you, forming a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the peach mixture close to the corner nearest you, leaving about a 1-inch border on the sides. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners before rolling up tightly toward the far corner. Make sure to seal the edge with a dab of water or a cornstarch slurry to keep the egg roll closed. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
In a deep pan or fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your warm egg rolls dusted with powdered sugar if you’d like, along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra sweetness. Enjoy every delicious bite of your crispy homemade peach cobbler egg rolls!
Happy cooking!
FAQ about Easy Homemade Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
Can I Use Frozen Peaches Instead of Fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess moisture before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help keep your filling from becoming too watery!
How Do I Store Leftover Egg Rolls?
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and crispy.
Can I Bake These Instead of Frying?
Absolutely! To bake, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the egg rolls on a lined baking sheet, brush them lightly with oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
What’s the Best Way to Serve These Egg Rolls?
These egg rolls are delicious served warm, dusted with powdered sugar. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
