Ingredients:
For the Peach Cobbler Filling:
- 2 cups peeled and diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Egg Roll Wrappers:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- Vegetable oil for frying
For Serving (Optional):
- Vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce
- Powdered sugar
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling
- In a saucepan, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the peaches are tender, and the sauce has thickened. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the peach cobbler filling to cool.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
- Place a spoonful of the cooled peach cobbler filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the peach cobbler egg rolls into the hot oil, seam-side down, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Dust and Brush
- While the egg rolls are still warm, brush them with melted butter and dust them with a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the peach cobbler egg rolls warm as a delightful dessert. They’re perfect on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence. You can also dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Peach cobbler egg rolls are a creative and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of a classic dessert in a fun and portable form.
