Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls combine the sweet, juicy flavor of peaches with the crispy texture of egg roll wrappers. This unique twist on a classic dessert is perfect for any occasion and will surely impress your family and friends. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Peaches (fresh or canned, diced)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup White Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (to taste)
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 12-14 Egg Roll Wrappers

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

1. Dice the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel and dice them into small cubes. If using canned peaches, drain and dice them.
2. Mix Cornstarch and Water: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the peach filling.
3. Cook the Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced peaches, white sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
4. Add Cornstarch Slurry: Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously until the filling thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Vanilla and Cinnamon: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Prepare the Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges.
2. Add Filling: Place about 2 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make the egg rolls difficult to seal.
3. Fold the Wrappers: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Moisten the top corner with a bit of water to seal the egg roll. Repeat this process for all the wrappers.
4. Apply Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each egg roll with the beaten egg. This will help them achieve a golden-brown color when baked or fried.

Step 3: Cook the Egg Rolls

Baking Method:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bake the Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the baking time.

Frying Method:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve

1. Plate the Egg Rolls: Arrange the egg rolls on a serving platter.
2. Optional Garnishes: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a bit of honey for extra sweetness.
3. Serve Warm: Serve the peach cobbler egg rolls warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side for a complete dessert experience.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls:

• Filling Consistency: Ensure the filling is not too runny. If it seems too liquid, cook it a bit longer until it thickens.
• Sealing the Wrappers: Make sure the egg roll wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
• Crispiness: For extra crispy egg rolls, fry them instead of baking, or bake them with a light spray of cooking oil.

Variations:

• Apple Cobbler Egg Rolls: Substitute the peaches with diced apples and follow the same steps for a delicious apple version.
• Berry Cobbler Egg Rolls: Use a mix of your favorite berries for a berry cobbler twist.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
