Cook techniques
Using Egg Roll Wrappers
Egg roll wrappers are the key to achieving a crispy texture for the apple pie filling. Make sure to handle them gently to avoid tearing.
Frying for Crispiness
Deep-frying the egg rolls in hot oil creates a golden-brown exterior and a delicious crunch. Ensure the oil is adequately heated for the best results.
Baking as a Healthier Option
If you prefer a lighter version, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake them in the oven until crispy and golden.
Making the Filling
Cook the apple filling with sugar and spices to enhance the flavors. Allow it to cool before filling the egg roll wrappers to prevent sogginess.
Sealing the Egg Rolls
Moisten the edges of the egg roll wrappers with water before sealing them. This helps to ensure that they stay closed during cooking.
Dusting with Powdered Sugar
After cooking, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar for a sweet finish that complements the apple filling.
