Equipment

  • Skillet (for the apple filling)
  • Deep skillet or sauce pan (for frying)
  • Tongs or slotted spoon
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples peeled and finely diced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon or 1 tsp apple pie spice
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp water
  • 6-8 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten (for sealing)
  • Neutral oil for frying

Instructions
 

Apple Filling

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
  • Mix cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Add to the apples and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
  • Transfer the filling to a bowl and let cool completely.

Spring Rolls

  • Place a spring roll wrapper in a diamond shape.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  • Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry spring rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm with powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or vanilla ice cream.
    • These spring rolls are great for holidays, parties, or whenever you’re craving apple pie without making a full dessert.

  • Nutty Apple Pie: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
  • Cream Cheese Apple: Add a small spoonful of sweetened cream cheese with the apple filling.

Storage & Reheating

  • Freezer: Freeze cooked or uncooked spring rolls in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
