One of the best things about these Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls is how versatile they are. You can enjoy them as a delightful dessert, a fun snack, or even pair them with ice cream for an extra treat. They’re quick to prepare, yet they have a homemade charm that makes them feel extra special.
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the egg rolls to a crisp, golden perfection.
Prepare the Peach Filling:
Start by dicing the peaches. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced peaches. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet along with the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the filling thickens, creating a rich, glossy peach sauce.
Add Flavor:
Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor of the peaches. Let this cool to room temperature so it’s easy to handle when filling the wrappers.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon a small amount of the cooled peach filling onto one end of the wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll the wrapper up tightly to form a sealed egg roll. Brush a little beaten egg on the edges of the wrapper to ensure it stays sealed during baking.
Add Sweetness:
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Dip each egg roll into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it’s covered in a sweet, spiced coating.
Bake:
Place the prepared egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. For an extra crispy finish, flip them halfway through the baking time.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once your egg rolls are golden and crunchy, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delicious on their own, but for an extra treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
For a more indulgent twist, try frying the egg rolls instead of baking them. Heat oil in a large pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm. This method gives an even crispier shell, reminiscent of churros!
Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are the perfect dessert for those who love a balance of soft and crunchy textures, with the sweet and spiced warmth of peach cobbler. They are quick to make, yet look impressive, making them ideal for serving at parties or just enjoying with family. Plus, their fun, hand-held form makes them great for kids and adults alike. The combination of the crispy egg roll wrapper and the rich, gooey peach filling is a match made in dessert heaven.
