How to Make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring, then reduce the heat to low.
  3. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and set aside to cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
  2. Brush the edges lightly with water.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold in the sides and roll up the wrapper snugly around the filling, sealing the edges with water.
  5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet.
  2. Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil in batches.
  3. Fry until they turn deep golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
  5. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar.

Step 4: Make the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  3. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

Tips and Variations

  • Make It Healthier: Bake the egg rolls in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or air fry them at 375°F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Peach Alternatives: Swap peaches for apples, strawberries, or blueberries for a different fruit cobbler experience.
  • Spice It Up: Add nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Serve with Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream takes these egg rolls to the next level!
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze uncooked, assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
  • Reheating: Reheat fried egg rolls in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes or in an air fryer at 375°F for 3-5 minutes.

Food and Drink Pairings

  • Drinks: Pair with iced tea, a glass of sweet white wine, or a spiced chai latte.
  • Desserts: Serve alongside a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
