Make this unique dessert fusion that transforms classic peach cobbler into a handheld, crispy treat. This recipe provides simple instructions for the spiced peach filling and includes methods for achieving a golden crunch using baking, deep frying, or air frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (if frying)
  • Cooking spray (if baking or air frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften slightly.
  2. Create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Pour the slurry into the peach mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. This step prevents wrapper tearing.
  3. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with the beaten egg.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in the left and right corners toward the center.
  5. Roll the wrapper tightly upward toward the top corner. Seal the final edge with a little more egg wash. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  6. Choose Your Cooking Method for Crispy Dessert Egg Rolls:
  7. Frying Method: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
  8. Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the assembled egg rolls with cooking spray. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  9. Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
  10. Prepare the Coating: While the egg rolls are hot, toss them immediately in a mixture of 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or serve with your preferred vanilla glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh peaches when they are in season. If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain off excess liquid before cooking the filling.
  • If you want a dipping sauce, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for a simple vanilla glaze.
  • If you are making these ahead of time, assemble the egg rolls and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Cook just before serving for the best texture.
