Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh or canned peaches, diced
Brown sugar
Ground cinnamon
Ground nutmeg
Cornstarch
Lemon juice
Egg roll wrappers
Butter (optional, for brushing)
Oil (for frying, if preferred)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until well mixed and set aside to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the peach filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water or beaten egg.
For frying: Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush with melted butter and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden, turning halfway through.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 12 peach cobbler egg rolls, perfect for 4-6 servings as a dessert or snack. Prep time is around 15 minutes, with cooking time varying between 15-20 minutes if baking or about 10 minutes if frying.

Variations

I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ginger to the peach filling for extra flavor.
Mixing in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts adds a nice crunch inside.
For a healthier option, I bake the egg rolls instead of frying them.
Using frozen peaches works well, just be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid.
Instead of peaches, I swap in other fruits like apples or berries for seasonal variety.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I prefer popping them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness. Microwaving can make them soggy, so I avoid that method.

FAQs

Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the egg rolls and freeze them before cooking. To freeze, place them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What’s the best way to seal the egg rolls?

I use a little water or beaten egg on the edges of the wrapper to help them stick together firmly and prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

Can I use pre-made peach pie filling instead of fresh peaches?

Absolutely! Pre-made pie filling is a great shortcut. I usually add a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg to enhance the flavor.

Is it possible to bake these without oil?

Yes, baking is a great alternative that cuts down on oil. Brushing the egg rolls lightly with melted butter or cooking spray helps achieve a crispy texture.

What should I serve with peach cobbler egg rolls?

I like serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
