Ingredients Breakdown

This recipe makes 8 peach cobbler egg rolls, serving 4–8 people depending on portion size.

For the Filling

• 1 ½ cups diced peaches – Fresh peaches give the best flavor when in season, but frozen (thawed) or canned (drained) work beautifully.
• ⅓ cup brown sugar – Adds depth and caramel-like sweetness to the peach mixture.
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon – For warm, comforting spice.
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg – A touch of nutmeg enhances the cobbler-like flavor.
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch – Thickens the filling so it doesn’t run out of the egg rolls.

For the Egg Rolls

• 8 egg roll wrappers – Available in the refrigerated section near produce in most grocery stores.
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted – Brushed on before frying for extra flavor and golden color.
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) – Neutral oils with a high smoke point work best.

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Vanilla Glaze (Optional but Recommended)

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Tools & Equipment Needed

• Medium saucepan (for cooking peach filling)
• Wooden spoon or silicone spatula

• Pastry brush (for melted butter)
• Deep frying pan, Dutch oven, or countertop deep fryer
• Tongs or slotted spoon (for handling hot egg rolls)
• Paper towels (for draining excess oil)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Peach Filling

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Stir and let the mixture cook for 3–4 minutes until the peaches release their juices.
3. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water to create a slurry.
4. Add slurry to the peaches and stir until thickened (about 1–2 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
2. Spoon 2 tablespoons of peach filling into the center.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
4. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
5. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

1. Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry egg rolls in small batches, 2–3 at a time, for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
3. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

1. While still warm, brush egg rolls lightly with melted butter.
2. Roll each fried egg roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.

5. Make the Glaze (Optional)

1. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
2. Drizzle glaze over warm egg rolls or serve on the side for dipping.

Ingredient Spotlight

Peaches

Peaches are the star here—choose ripe, fragrant ones in summer for the best results. When out of season, frozen peaches (thawed) or canned peaches (packed in juice, not syrup) work well. Store fresh peaches at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate.

Egg Roll Wrappers

These versatile wrappers can be found in most grocery stores in the refrigerated produce section. Keep them covered with a damp towel while working to prevent drying out.

Pro Cooking Tips

• Seal wrappers tightly to avoid leaks while frying.
• Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
• Use a thermometer—350°F is the sweet spot for golden, crispy egg rolls.
• Let excess oil drain on paper towels before rolling in cinnamon sugar.

Storage & Freezing Guide

• Room Temp: Best enjoyed immediately after frying.
• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze uncooked, assembled egg rolls. Fry straight from frozen when ready.
• Reheat: Use oven or air fryer to restore crispiness—avoid microwaving.
