Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)

Assembly

  • 22–24 egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking oil or cooking spray

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dipping Sauce

  • ½ cup caramel topping, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine finely diced apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to coat the apples evenly and set aside.
  3. Arrange Wrappers: On a clean work surface, lay out the egg roll wrappers one at a time for assembly.
  4. Add Cream Cheese and Apple Filling: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of room temperature cream cheese onto the center of each wrapper. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple mixture.
  5. Wet Edges: Lightly moisten the edges of each wrapper with water to ensure they seal properly during rolling.
  6. Roll Egg Rolls: Fold the bottom corner of the egg roll wrapper up over the filling, rolling once to encase the mixture. Next, fold in both the right and left corners towards the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling until fully wrapped and press gently to seal all edges, adding more water if necessary.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spray the tops lightly with cooking oil or spray to help them brown evenly.
  8. Bake: Bake for 15-17 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through baking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Mix Topping: While the egg rolls bake, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  10. Coat Egg Rolls: Immediately after baking, roll the hot egg rolls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  11. Serve: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm with warmed caramel topping on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for the best balance of tartness and sweetness, but you can substitute with other firm baking apples if desired.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
  • To prevent the egg rolls from cracking during rolling, keep wrappers covered with a damp towel while working.
  • You can prepare the apple mixture a few hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, brush the egg rolls with melted butter instead of cooking spray before baking.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
