Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches (or canned, drained)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Wrapper and Frying
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the peeled and diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated; set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld and the cornstarch to slightly thicken the filling.
- Arrange the Wrapper: Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with a corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape for ease of rolling.
- Add Filling: Spoon approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of the peach filling near the corner closest to you, spreading it out but leaving space on the edges for sealing.
- Fold the Wrapper: Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners towards the center to encase the filling securely.
- Roll and Seal: Roll the wrapper tightly towards the opposite corner, sealing the final edge with a little water to ensure the egg roll stays closed during frying.
- Repeat: Repeat the rolling process for the remaining 11 egg roll wrappers and peach filling until all are assembled.
- Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to a depth of about 2 inches and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a frying temperature suitable for crisping but not burning the egg rolls (around 350°F or 175°C).
- Fry Egg Rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches, placing them gently in the hot oil. Cook each egg roll for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully, until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the egg rolls from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil and retain crispiness.
- Serve: Serve the peach cobbler egg rolls warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor; canned peaches work well as a convenient alternative but ensure they are drained to avoid soggy filling.
- Adjust the amount of sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of your peaches.
- Ensure the oil temperature is not too high to prevent burning the wrappers before the filling is heated through.
- These egg rolls reheat well in an oven or air fryer to retain their crispiness.
- For a healthier twist, consider baking the egg rolls instead of frying, though texture will be different.
