Why Air Fryer Apple Pie Egg Rolls Are the Perfect Dessert
The air fryer works magic with these dessert egg rolls, creating a perfectly crispy egg roll exterior while maintaining a warm, cinnamon-spiced apple filling inside. Unlike regular apple pie that requires making pie crust from scratch, using egg roll wrappers makes this recipe quick and easy.
The Secret to Perfect Apple Filling for Egg Rolls
The key to amazing apple pie egg rolls starts with choosing the right apples. Granny Smith apples are ideal because their tartness balances the brown sugar and pie spice perfectly. When diced and mixed with cinnamon sugar, they create that classic apple pie filling taste we all love.
How to Choose Between Egg Roll Wrappers vs Wonton Wrappers
While both egg roll wrappers and wonton wrappers can work, egg roll wrappers are the better choice for this recipe. They're slightly thicker than wonton wrappers, which helps them hold the sweet apple mixture better and become perfectly crispy in the air fryer.
Tips for Working with Egg Roll Wrappers
When working with remaining egg roll wrappers, keep them covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying. To seal the egg rolls properly, place the apple mixture in the center of the wrapper, then fold the top corner over after rolling to create a secure seal.
Air Fryer Tips for Perfectly Crispy Egg Rolls
Preheat your air fryer before starting - this is crucial for achieving that golden brown exterior. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. A light coating of cooking spray helps achieve that perfect crispiness.
Don't Have an Air Fryer? Alternative Cooking Methods
While the air fryer makes these apple pie egg rolls exceptionally crispy, you can also deep fry them or bake them in a regular oven. However, the air fried version gives you that perfect crunch without excess oil.
Serving Your Apple Pie Egg Rolls
These dessert egg rolls are incredibly versatile. Serve them with caramel sauce for dipping, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or simply dusted with cinnamon sugar. They're perfect for everything from casual family desserts to impressive party treats.
Storage and Reheating Tips
To reheat leftover apple pie egg rolls, put them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F. They'll crisp right back up! You can also make these ahead and freeze them before cooking - just add an extra minute or two to the cooking time when air frying from frozen.
Why This Recipe Works Better Than Traditional Pie
Unlike traditional apple pie recipes that can be time-consuming and temperamental, these easy apple pie egg rolls are nearly foolproof. The air fryer makes them perfectly crispy on the outside while keeping the cinnamon-spiced apple filling warm and gooey on the inside. Plus, individual portions mean no messy pie cutting!
Expert Tips for Success
- Always preheat the air fryer for the crispiest results
- Roll the egg rolls up tightly to prevent leaking
- Work with one wrapper at a time, keeping others covered
- Seal the top corner of the egg roll well with water
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket
- Let the sweet apple filling cool slightly before wrapping
By following these tips and techniques, you'll create perfectly crispy egg rolls with a delicious apple pie filling that rivals any traditional pie. Whether you're making these for a special occasion or just craving something sweet, these air fryer apple pie egg rolls are sure to become a family favorite.
