1-First Step: Prepare the Filling: Start by mixing the diced apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl to create the flavorful filling. This step ensures the apples are evenly coated and ready for cooking. Take about 10-15 minutes for this, as it sets the foundation for your Apple Pie Egg Rolls.

Once mixed, the filling comes together quickly, highlighting the fresh ingredients. For firmer apples like Granny Smith, consider microwaving them for one minute to soften first, as suggested in the tips.

2-Second Step: Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper and place 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the sides in and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water to keep everything secure. This process takes just a few minutes per wrapper and helps prevent oil splatter during frying.

Make sure to roll them tightly for the best results, as per the recipe directions. With 12 wrappers, you’ll have a batch ready in no time, perfect for sharing or snacking.

3-Third Step: Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry each egg roll for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. After frying, drain them on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. The total cook time is about 5 minutes, making this a fast treat.

Keep in mind that cooking times may vary if you use an air fryer, so adjust as needed. The preparation time for the whole recipe is 30 minutes prep and 5 minutes cook, totaling 35 minutes.
