Oh, now we’re talking—peach cobbler egg rolls are a fun, crispy, fruity dessert that’s like taking a southern classic and giving it a crunchy twist! Here’s a full recipe:
Ingredients (makes about 8–10 egg rolls)
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1–2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar or caramel sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the peach filling:
- In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes (don’t use hot filling, or it will tear the wrappers).
- Assemble the egg rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of peach filling near the corner closest to you.
- Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with a little water or beaten egg.
- Cook the egg rolls:
Option A – Frying (crispiest):
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the egg rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
Option B – Baking (lighter):
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush each egg roll with melted butter.
- Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Optional: serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
These are perfect for parties or just sneaky dessert indulgence.
If you want, I can also give a quick shortcut version using store-bought peach pie filling and a mini egg roll press method to make them in under 20 minutes.
Do you want that quick version?
