Turn a savory snack into a dessert favorite with a quick and easy recipe for Apple Pie Egg Rolls perfect for dipping in whipped cream or caramel sauce.

Apple Pie Egg Rolls have been a long time coming around here. Because if there’s anything I love more than a good ol’ crispy chicken egg roll dunked in sweet and sour sauce, it’s a good ol’ apple pie egg roll dunked in caramel sauce (or whipped cream!).

This latest creation was inspired not only by classic egg rolls, but also by another sweet take on a savory favorite, Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas. So the moral of the story here is, edible envelopes of dough can be stuffed with just about any ingredient and then deep-fried, and the result is seriously irresistible.

In this case, we’re talking tangy Granny Smith apples, a touch of sugar and plenty of cinnamon all cooked together until softened slightly. This is the same route we go down with homemade applesauce, so you want to stop cooking the apples while they still have a little bit of bite.

And then into the egg roll wrapper they go! It’s important to roll these babies up tight to ensure the filling stays in place when they go for a quick plunge in boiling oil. A touch of water around the wrappers helps seal in all the apple goodness.

Once the crispy, golden rolls are plucked from the oil, give them a quick powdered sugar shower and then dig in (or start dunking in caramel or whipped cream!). And for more apple-inspired sweets, don’t miss Apple Fritter Rings, Easy Salted Caramel Apple Tart and Apple Pie Panini.
