Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

 A delightful fusion dessert, these warm, crispy egg rolls are filled with sweet cinnamon-spiced peaches—a fun and impressive twist on classic peach cobbler.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Makes: 10 egg rolls

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 can (29 oz) peaches in syrup, drained and chopped

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup brown sugar, divided

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• ¼ cup water

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

• Lemon juice, to taste

For Assembly:

• 10 egg roll wrappers

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions

Make the Peach Filling:

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped peaches and granulated sugar. Cook for 3–4 minutes until warmed and juicy.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into the peaches and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2–3 minutes.

3. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Let cool completely.

Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:

1. In a shallow dish, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon with ¼ cup of the brown sugar. Set aside.

2. In another shallow dish, combine the melted butter with the remaining ¼ cup brown sugar. This will be used for coating.

Assemble & Bake:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling onto the center.

3. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a brush of beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

4. Lightly brush each rolled egg roll with the butter and brown sugar mixture, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.

5. Arrange seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray (for extra crispness).

6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For a crispy texture, ensure the filling is completely cool before wrapping.

• Try serving with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

• If you prefer frying, heat oil to 350°F and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.

Enjoy these sweet, crunchy treats—a perfect handheld dessert for any gathering!
