12 Servings
Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 cups Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wrappers:
- 6 egg roll wrappers
- Cooking spray for baking
Optional Toppings:
- Cinnamon sugar
- Confectioner’s sugar
- Simple glaze confectioner’s sugar mixed with milk
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Simmer over medium heat until the apples soften slightly. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool for approximately 1 hour.
Preheat the Oven:
- Once the filling has cooled, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the Egg Roll Ups:
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Place the egg roll wrappers flat. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the apple mixture into the center of each wrapper.
Seal the Wrappers:
- Moisten the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold in all four edges approximately ¼ inch to secure the filling. Roll lengthwise until sealed, pressing gently to close the edges.
Bake:
- Arrange the prepared rolls seam-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Finish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, dust with confectioner’s sugar, or drizzle with glaze. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
