Ingredients
Egg roll wraps
25 (ready to use)
Pie filling
16 ounces (any flavor (like cherry, apple, or blueberry))
Powdered sugar
to taste (for dusting)
Oil
for frying (enough to submerge the egg rolls)
Instructions
1
Begin by heating oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil to submerge the egg rolls.
2
Take one egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons of your chosen pie filling into the center of the wrapper.
3
Fold the two sides of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the bottom up over the filling. Finally, roll it up tightly to seal it, pressing the edges to secure. Use a fork to crimp and ensure a tight seal.
4
Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5
Once golden, remove the egg rolls from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels. While they are still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.
6
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy sweet egg rolls!
