Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups peaches
- Oil for frying
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Garnish:
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups diced peaches, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated with the sweet spice mixture.
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper on your work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the peach mixture directly into the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, tucking it snugly against the peaches. Fold in the side corners to create an envelope shape.
- Dip your finger in water and trace the top edge of the wrapper to create a seal. Roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom up, pressing the moistened edge to close completely.
- Pour 2 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan. Heat to 350°F, monitoring the temperature with a cooking thermometer.
- Carefully slide 2-3 egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown. Use tongs to gently turn them for even browning.
- Transfer the fried egg rolls to a wire rack lined with paper towels. Let excess oil drain for 1-2 minutes.
- Dust the warm egg rolls generously with powdered sugar just before serving, using a fine-mesh sifter for even coverage.
Notes
- Fresh, ripe peaches work best for maximum flavor and sweetness in the filling.
- Roll egg rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Use a candy thermometer to maintain oil temperature around 350°F for consistent golden-brown results.
- For a healthier version, bake the egg rolls at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, brushing with a little oil to help them crisp up.
