How to Make It (Step-by-Step)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Yield: 10–12 egg rolls
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the peach filling into the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
Step 3: Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Drain
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve
Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and serve warm. Add caramel sauce or ice cream if desired.
Expert Tips for Success
