this Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Luscious Peach Filling:

  • 6-7 medium-sized ripe fresh peaches (about 4 cups diced), peeled, pitted, and diced into small, uniform ½-inch pieces. Choosing ripe peaches is key for the best flavor! If fresh are not available, you can use two 15-ounce cans of sliced peaches, drained and diced, just be sure to adjust sugar slightly if they are packed in syrup.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. I love a good Saigon cinnamon for its intense flavor!
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice (optional, but it adds a wonderful depth)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. This really brightens the peach flavor and prevents browning.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch. This will help thicken our filling.
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (for the cornstarch slurry)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• For Assembling the Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls:

  • 24 egg roll wrappers (standard square size). You can find these in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores near the tofu or produce.
  • 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon of water (this is our egg wash for sealing the wrappers)
  • 4-6 cups vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil for deep frying (enough to submerge the egg rolls, about 2-3 inches deep in your pot).

• For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. You might want a little extra if you love that cinnamon kick!

• Optional Serving Enhancements:

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving a la mode.
  • Caramel sauce or a simple vanilla glaze for drizzling.

Crafting the Irresistible Peach Filling

1. Prepare Your Peaches: First things first, we need to get our peaches ready. If you’re using fresh peaches, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the peaches into the boiling water for about 30-60 seconds, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. This blanching method makes peeling them incredibly easy! The skins should slip right off. Once peeled, pit them and then dice them into uniform ½-inch pieces. We want consistent pieces so they cook evenly and fit nicely into our egg rolls. If you’re using canned peaches, drain them thoroughly and dice them.
2. Combine Ingredients for the Filling: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine your diced peaches, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and the optional ¼ teaspoon allspice. Stir gently to coat all the peach pieces evenly with the sugars and spices. This is where the magic starts to happen!
3. Begin Cooking the Peaches: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. As the peaches cook, they will start to release their delicious juices, creating a beautiful syrupy base. Continue to simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the peaches have softened but still retain a slight bite. We don’t want mushy peaches for our “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls,” we want texture!
4. Thicken the Filling: While the peaches are simmering, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until you have a smooth slurry. This cornstarch slurry is our secret weapon for thickening the filling. Once the peaches have softened, pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering peach mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the filling to thicken to a lovely, spoonable consistency, similar to a pie filling. It should coat the back of a spoon.
5. Add the Finishing Touches and Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until it’s completely melted and incorporated, adding a rich, smooth finish to our filling. Finally, mix in the 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Transfer the peach filling to a shallow bowl or plate and spread it out slightly to help it cool faster. It is absolutely crucial that the peach filling cools completely to room temperature before you attempt to fill your egg rolls. Warm filling can make the wrappers soggy and difficult to work with, leading to potential leaks during frying. This cooling process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, or you can even prepare the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.

Assembling Your Delicious Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

6. Prepare Your Assembly Station: Gather all your components: the cooled peach filling, your stack of egg roll wrappers, and your egg wash (1 whisked egg with 1 tablespoon water). Set up a clean, dry workspace. I like to lay out a large cutting board or a clean kitchen towel to work on.
7. Orient the Wrapper: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on your work surface so it looks like a diamond shape, with one corner pointing directly towards you. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out, as they can become brittle and crack.
8. Spoon in the Filling: Take about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling and place it horizontally in the center of the wrapper, closer to the corner that is pointing towards you. Do not overfill! This is a common mistake that makes sealing difficult and can lead to messy bursts during cooking. We want just enough filling to get a good peach flavor in every bite without compromising the structural integrity of our egg roll.
9. Begin the Fold: Take the corner closest to you and fold it tightly over the filling, tucking the tip underneath the filling. Press down gently to secure it. You want this first fold to be snug around the filling.
10. Fold in the Sides: Next, take the left corner and fold it inwards towards the center, over the already folded-over bottom section. Repeat this with the right corner, folding it inwards towards the center. You should now have an envelope shape, with the filling securely encased in the bottom portion of the wrapper.
11. Roll It Up: Gently but firmly, begin rolling the wrapper upwards from the bottom, towards the top corner. As you roll, ensure you’re maintaining a snug cylinder, pushing out any air pockets. The tighter you roll, the less likely your egg roll is to unravel or absorb too much oil.
12. Seal the Deal: Once you reach the top corner, dip your finger into the egg wash and generously brush the entire surface of that final top corner. Then, press the top corner down firmly to seal the egg roll completely. The egg wash acts as a glue, ensuring everything stays perfectly intact during cooking. A good seal is paramount to preventing your delicious peach filling from escaping! Repeat this process for all remaining egg roll wrappers and filling. Place the assembled “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a plate, ensuring they don’t touch each other. If you’re not cooking them immediately, you can refrigerate them for up to an hour.

Cooking Your Golden Brown Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Deep Frying Method:

13. Heat the Oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep skillet, pour in your vegetable, canola, or peanut oil to a depth of about 2-3 inches. Place it over medium-high heat. You’ll want the oil to reach a temperature of 350-375°F (175-190°C). If you have a deep-fry thermometer, this is the time to use it for accuracy. If not, you can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of egg roll wrapper into it; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden brown within 20-30 seconds.
14. Fry in Batches: Carefully, using tongs, lower 2-3 “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy, less crispy egg rolls. Fry them for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy on all sides. The vibrant golden hue is what we are aiming for!
15. Drain and Prepare for Topping: Once golden, remove the cooked egg rolls from the oil using tongs and transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. This allows any excess oil to drain off, keeping them nice and crisp. Continue frying the remaining egg rolls in batches, ensuring the oil temperature returns to the optimal range between each batch.

Air Frying Method:

16. Preheat and Prep: If you prefer a healthier or less messy alternative, the air fryer is fantastic! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the assembled “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” with cooking spray or brush them with a thin layer of oil. This helps them achieve that beautiful golden crispness.
17. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the oiled egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. You’ll likely need to work in batches. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as air fryer times can vary.

Baking Method:

18. Oven Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly brush the assembled “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” with melted butter or a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. This promotes browning and crisping in the oven.
19. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the brushed egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and the wrappers are crisp. Baking might not yield the same deep fry crispness, but it’s a great option for a lighter touch.

The Perfect Finishing Touch and Serving

20. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a shallow dish or plate, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Stir them together until well mixed. This simple topping is what truly gives these the “cobbler” feel!
21. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after taking the “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” out of the fryer, air fryer, or oven, while they are still warm, gently roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Make sure to coat all sides evenly. The warmth of the egg rolls helps the sugar adhere beautifully, creating a sweet and spicy crust that is absolutely irresistible. Don’t wait too long, as the sugar won’t stick as well once they cool.
22. Serve and Enjoy!: These “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” are best served warm, shortly after they’ve been coated in cinnamon sugar. The crisp exterior gives way to a warm, spiced, and sweet peach filling that is simply heavenly. For an extra special treat, serve them a la mode with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that will slowly melt into the warm peach goodness, or drizzle them with a luscious caramel sauce or a homemade vanilla glaze. They are also fantastic on their own, perhaps with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

23. Tips for Success and Variations:

    • Cooling is Key: I cannot stress enough the importance of allowing your peach filling to cool completely. This is the single biggest factor in preventing soggy wrappers and ensuring a successful frying experience.
    • Don’t Overfill: Less is more when it comes to filling egg rolls. Stick to the recommended 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons to ensure easy folding and prevent blowouts.
    • Seal Properly: Use enough egg wash and press firmly to create a tight seal. This is your insurance policy against filling leakage.
    • Make-Ahead & Storage: You can prepare the peach filling a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Assembled, uncooked egg rolls can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1-2 hours. Cooked “Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls” are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat them in an air fryer or oven to regain some crispness.
    • Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before dicing and proceeding with the recipe. You might need to adjust the cooking time for the filling slightly.
    • Seasonal Fruit Swaps: While peach is classic, don’t be afraid to experiment! This recipe works wonderfully with other fruits like apples (for “Apple Pie Egg Rolls”), cherries, or mixed berries. Adjust spices accordingly for different fruit profiles.
    • Add a Crunch: For an extra texture, consider adding a tablespoon of finely chopped pecans or a sprinkle of streusel to the peach filling before folding it into the egg roll wrappers.

Make It Your Own: Serving Suggestions & Variations

Part of the beauty of these egg rolls lies in their versatility, both in how you serve them and how you might tweak them to suit your personal taste. While they are utterly fantastic straight out of the fryer or oven, still warm and inviting, a scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream melting alongside them creates a truly decadent experience. The contrast of the hot, crispy egg roll with the cold, smooth ice cream is simply divine. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider a drizzle of warm caramel sauce, a sprinkle of toasted pecans, or even a dusting of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for added sweetness and visual appeal. A dollop of freshly whipped cream can also provide a lovely, light counterpoint to the rich peach filling.

Feeling adventurous? Don’t hesitate to play with the filling! While peaches are undeniably the star here, you could easily adapt this recipe to other fruit cobbler variations. Imagine crisp apple cinnamon egg rolls, tart cherry egg rolls, or even a mixed berry medley. A pinch of nutmeg or allspice can deepen the flavor profile of the peach filling, making it even more aromatic. You could also experiment with adding a tiny bit of lemon zest to brighten the peaches, or a splash of bourbon for a more grown-up flavor. For an extra layer of texture, finely chop some nuts like walnuts or pecans and mix them into the peach filling. And for those who love a dipping sauce, a simple cream cheese glaze (powdered sugar, milk, and cream cheese) or a light lemon glaze would be absolutely divine and further elevate the dessert experience. The possibilities are truly endless, allowing you to tailor this recipe to your cravings and creativity.
