Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls:

- Cornstarch: Helps thicken the peach filling.
- Water: To mix with cornstarch and for sealing the egg roll wrappers.
- Egg: For an egg wash to help seal the egg rolls.
- Cinnamon: Adds warmth and spice to the filling.
- Sugar: Sweetens the peach filling.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the filling.
- Lemon Juice: Adds a touch of acidity to balance the sweetness.
- Butter: Adds richness to the filling.
- Brown Sugar: Adds depth of flavor and sweetness.
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the drained and diced peaches (about 2 cups) and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
- Add the slurry to the peach mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
- Brush the edges with a beaten egg to seal the egg roll.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Serve the egg rolls warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or served with vanilla ice cream.
Cooking Notes
- Frying Tips: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Cooling the Filling: Let the peach filling cool before assembling the egg rolls to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
- Serving Suggestions: These egg rolls are delicious on their own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
