How to make Air Fryer Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Recently, I made Southwest Egg Rolls in my air fryer. With leftover egg roll wrappers that I didn’t want to waste, the idea for apple pie egg rolls was born.
If you take some egg roll wrappers, fill them with a simple homemade apple pie filling, and cook them in an air fryer you get Air Fryer Apple Pie Egg Rolls, one of the easiest and tastiest
Peel the apples and cut into small chunks. Place into a small bowl.
Two apples will give you a little over two cups of apple pieces.
Add flour and toss until the apple chunks are coated and all flour has been absorbed.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon and stir until well distributed. Then add vanilla.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often until the apples have slightly softened. Remove from heat.
Lay out 4 egg roll wrappers and divide the mixture between them, about 1/4 cup each. Make a line of filling from one corner to the opposite corner.
Fold the corner closest to you up over the filling and do the same to the opposite corner. Fold one of the remaining sides up and slightly tuck into the apple mixture. Roll into an egg roll shape, but do not roll all the way.
Dip a pastry brush (or your finger) into a small bowl of water and moisten the unrolled corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
Place the egg rolls into the basket or on the rack of an air fryer seam side up in a single layer, leaving room for airflow between.
Using a pastry brush, generously brush the top of each egg roll with olive oil. If you have an olive oil spritzer, feel free to generously spritz instead.
Generously sprinkle each egg roll with Turbinado (raw) sugar.
Cook at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes. The top of the egg rolls may split open during cooking.
These apple pie egg rolls should be enjoyed within an hour or so of baking, while the outsides are crispy and the delicious spiced apple pie filling is still nice and warm.
Remove from air fryer and serve immediately with ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
