Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
- 8-10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the edges with water to seal.
- Bake the egg rolls: Place the assembled egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each egg roll with melted butter. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for dipping.
