You know those days when you crave apple pie, but the thought of making crust feels like climbing Everest in flip-flops? Yeah, that was me last fall. I had a bag of Granny Smith apples sitting on the counter, practically glaring at me like, “hey lady, use us before we shrivel into compost.” I didn’t want to make a full pie, and honestly, I didn’t want the clean-up that comes with it either. So, I did what any tired, snack-craving person would do—I improvised.

That’s how Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups happened in my kitchen. No pie dough, no rolling pins, just egg roll wrappers and an “aha!” moment. The first batch? Gone in minutes. My kids swooped in before I even dusted them with powdered sugar. My husband—who usually doesn’t care about fruit desserts unless there’s chocolate involved—looked at me after his second one and said, “Are there more?” I wish I could tell you I played it cool, but nope, I just grinned like I’d cracked some secret code to happiness.

Here’s a quick peek at what’s inside:

Why You’ll Love This Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups Recipe?

Here’s the beauty of this recipe—it’s got all the cozy flavors of apple pie, but none of the drama. The filling is warm, gooey, and cinnamon-spiced, wrapped in a crispy shell that feels like a hug in food form. And unlike a whole pie that takes forever, these little guys are ready in under 40 minutes. That’s barely an episode of your favorite show.

Plus, they’re fun. You can pick them up with your hands, dip them in glaze, or even eat them with ice cream if you want to feel fancy. They’re baked instead of fried, which makes them a little lighter, though let’s be real—they’re still a treat. Honestly, Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups are like the middle ground between a dessert and a snack, and isn’t that the sweet spot we’re all looking for?

Ingredient Notes:

Let’s break down the cast of characters here, because they all bring something to the party:

Granny Smith apples – Tart, firm, and hold up beautifully. Want sweeter? Try Honeycrisp or Gala.
Cornstarch – Keeps the filling thick instead of soupy. Nobody wants apple juice running down their arm.
Sugar – Just enough to sweeten. You can sprinkle extra on top if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
Cinnamon – Because if there’s no cinnamon, is it even apple pie?
Vanilla – A splash of warmth that makes the filling taste “rounder” (is that a word? You know what I mean).
Egg roll wrappers – The shortcut MVP. They crisp up beautifully and save you hours.
Toppings – Powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or glaze. Honestly, why pick one?

How To Make Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups?

Step 1 – Cook the filling
In a saucepan, mix water and cornstarch. Stir in apples, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Let it simmer until the apples soften just a bit. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Yes, waiting is annoying, but if you skip this, the wrappers get soggy.

Step 2 – Prep the wrappers
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Flour a surface, lay out your egg roll wrappers, and spoon about ⅓ cup of apple filling into the middle of each.

Step 3 – Seal and roll
Dip your fingers in water, run them along the edges, fold the sides in slightly, and roll it up tight, like a burrito. Seal with a little more water. Don’t stress if they’re not perfect—mine never are, and they still taste amazing.

Step 4 – Bake
Line a sheet with parchment, place the rolls seam-side down, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 5 – Toppings
This is the fun part. Dust with powdered sugar, roll in cinnamon sugar, or drizzle with glaze. Or do all three because who’s stopping you?

Storage Options:

Best advice? Eat them fresh. Seriously, nothing beats that first bite when they’re warm and crisp. But if you do have leftovers, pop them in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for about 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer so they crisp back up. Don’t microwave—trust me, you’ll regret it. And yes, you can freeze them before baking. Just bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes.

Variations and Substitutions:

Because sometimes you just want to play around:

Different fruit – Pears, peaches, cherries… whatever you’ve got.
Extra spice – Nutmeg, cloves, or pumpkin pie spice for fall vibes.
Other wrappers – Phyllo sheets or puff pastry if egg roll wrappers aren’t handy.
Caramel apple twist – Add caramel bits to the filling. Just be prepared for gooey fingers (worth it).

What to Serve with Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups?

These are so good on their own, but if you want to make it extra:

Vanilla ice cream – The hot-and-cold combo is unbeatable.
Whipped cream – Easy, light, and makes them feel like dessert-dessert.
Coffee or tea – Perfect for a mid-afternoon snack situation.
Holiday spread – Add these to your dessert table and watch them vanish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I fry them instead of baking?
Totally. Fry in oil at 350°F until golden. Extra crispy, extra indulgent.

Can I make them ahead?
Yes, assemble them, keep them covered in the fridge, and bake later. Just don’t wait too long or the wrappers get soft.

Which apples are best?
Granny Smith is my go-to, but Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Gala work too. It’s just about how sweet or tart you like them.

And that’s it—Apple Pie Egg Roll Ups that give you all the flavor of pie without the hassle. They’re cozy, fun, and honestly kind of addictive. I love how they make an ordinary Tuesday night feel like fall at grandma’s house. So what about you—are you a powdered sugar person, or do you go straight for the glaze drizzle?
