Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar mixed with ½ tsp cinnamon, for coating

Method
 

  1. Cook the apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook 1 minute, then cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper as a diamond, spoon 2 tbsp filling in the center, and moisten the edges with water.
  3. Fold the bottom corner up, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, pressing the top corner to seal. Repeat for all 8 rolls.
  4. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C), fry rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, and drain on paper towels. Toss warm rolls in the cinnamon sugar and serve right away.

Notes

The lemon juice is optional but adds a nice bright note; if you skip it, add a splash of water to the cornstarch slurry instead. Let the filling cool fully before rolling so the wrapper stays crisp. If you prefer not to fry, see the baking instructions in the FAQ above. Leftovers keep their crunch best when reheated in the oven rather than the microwave.
