Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 3½ cups)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch

Egg Rolls

  • 22–24 egg roll wrappers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)
  • cooking oil or cooking spray

Topping and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup caramel topping, warmed, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well to evenly coat the apple pieces; this mixture will be about 3½ cups. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface, working one at a time for easier assembly.
  4. Add Cream Cheese and Apple Filling: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of room temperature cream cheese onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Top the cream cheese with about 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple mixture.
  5. Moisten Wrapper Edges: Use a small amount of water to moisten the edges of the egg roll wrapper. This helps to seal the roll properly during folding.
  6. Roll the Egg Rolls: First, fold up the bottom corner of the wrapper to just cover the apple and cream cheese mixture. Roll once to incorporate the filling. Then fold in the left and right corners towards the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling until the filling is completely enclosed, and press the edges to seal securely. Add more water if needed to ensure the wrapper stays closed.
  7. Place on Baking Sheet and Prepare for Baking: Arrange the rolled egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush each roll with cooking oil to help them brown evenly.
  8. Bake Egg Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crispy when done.
  9. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: While the egg rolls bake, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  10. Coat Egg Rolls in Topping: Once baked, immediately roll each hot egg roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to fully coat them, adding a sweet and flavorful finish.
  11. Serve: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm with a side of warmed caramel sauce for dipping or drizzling, enhancing the sweet and spiced apple flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness which balances the sweetness of the brown sugar and caramel.
  • Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting during baking.
  • The egg rolls are best served warm on the day they are made for optimal crispiness.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
