Ingredients
Scale
2 cups peaches, diced (fresh or canned, drained)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
10 egg roll wrappers
1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing/frying)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Oil for frying, baking, or air frying
For Vanilla Glaze (Optional): 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the peach filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch.
Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Assemble the egg rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling near the bottom corner.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the left and right corners inward over the filling. Moisten the top edge of the wrapper with a little water. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you to seal the egg roll. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Choose your cooking method:
For Frying: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
For Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
For Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow dish, mix the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
While the egg rolls are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
If making the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Serve the warm egg rolls immediately with the glaze for dipping.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to the peach filling mixture.
If you are interested in structured eating plans, research meal planning options available from meal delivery companies.
If you want a cheesecake element, mix 2 ounces of softened cream cheese into the cooled peach filling before rolling.
Serve these with vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
