Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced (about 3½ cups)
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch

Egg Rolls

  • 22–24 egg roll wrappers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (about 2 teaspoons per egg roll)
  • cooking oil or cooking spray (for brushing)

Topping and Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup caramel topping, warmed (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside to prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the diced Granny Smith apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well until evenly coated and set aside. This mixture should yield about 3½ cups of filling.
  3. Prepare Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, working one at a time to prevent them from drying out.
  4. Add Cream Cheese and Apple Mixture: Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of softened cream cheese onto the center of each egg roll wrapper. Then, top with about 2 tablespoons of the apple filling on top of the cream cheese.
  5. Seal Egg Rolls: Wet the edges of each wrapper with water to ensure a good seal. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, roll once to encase the mixture, then fold in the left and right corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Continue rolling until the filling is fully wrapped inside and press the edges firmly to seal the egg roll completely.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spray each egg roll with cooking oil to help them crisp as they bake.
  7. Bake Egg Rolls: Bake for 15-17 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through the baking process, until they are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Prepare Topping: While the egg rolls bake, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  9. Coat Egg Rolls: Immediately after baking, roll each warm egg roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for a sweet, crystalline crust.
  10. Serve with Caramel Sauce: Serve the apple pie egg rolls warm with a side of warmed caramel topping for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy spreading.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute egg roll wrappers with gluten-free alternatives.
  • To make ahead, assemble egg rolls and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag; bake from frozen adding extra minutes to baking time.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for tartness; other firm apples may be substituted but will affect flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overfill egg rolls to prevent bursting while baking.
