Ingredients
  

For the Egg Rolls
  • 8 pieces egg roll wrappers Use fresh wrappers for the best texture.
  • 2 cups apple filling Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for depth of flavor.
  • 1 piece egg (beaten) This will serve as a seal for the egg rolls.
For the Apple Filling
  • 3 medium apples, peeled and diced Granny Smith apples offer perfect tartness.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar For sweetness and richness.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon A warm spice that elevates the apple flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Adds a hint of warmth.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice To brighten the flavors and prevent browning.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch This will help thicken the filling.
Optional Toppings
  • powdered sugar For a sweet finish.
  • vanilla ice cream A delightful accompaniment.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until the apples are well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Assembly
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about two tablespoons of the apple filling in the center. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make sealing difficult.
  2. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two sides, and roll tightly away from you to enclose the filling. Ensure the edges are sealed to prevent any filling from escaping during cooking.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the egg rolls seam side down and lightly brush the tops with some more beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Once the egg rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Make sure to not overload the egg rolls with filling; otherwise, they won't roll up correctly. If you're short on time, store-bought apple pie filling can be used as a shortcut. For a healthier version, consider air frying the egg rolls instead of baking. To keep leftovers fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat them in the oven to restore crispness.
