Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups peaches, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
10 egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons sugar (for coating)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
Directions
Start by preparing the peach filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped peaches, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir everything together and allow it to cook for about 5–7 minutes until the peaches soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the peach mixture and stir continuously until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely before assembling the egg rolls.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 175°C (350°F). Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil and fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for coating. While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 10 egg rolls, serving approximately 4 to 5 people depending on portion size. Preparation time takes around 20 minutes, while cooking time is about 15 minutes. In total, you can have these delicious treats ready in approximately 35 minutes.
Variations
You can easily customize this recipe to suit your preferences. For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also air-fry them at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes.
If you want to experiment with flavors, try adding a handful of raspberries or blueberries to the peach filling for a mixed fruit version. A cream cheese filling can also be added for a richer, cheesecake-like twist. For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed graham crackers into the filling before rolling.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their crispiness, reheat them in an oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes or in an air fryer for 5–7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrapper soggy.
If you want to freeze them, place uncooked egg rolls on a tray until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry or bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
