Instructions
Peel, core and dice the apples into small pieces and put them in a medium bowl.
3-4 medium apples
Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour to the apples and toss to mix well.
4 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Place an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board. Add ½ cup of the apple pie mixture to the top of the wrapper. Fold the top point over top, then fold in the sides. Continue to roll the egg roll up, folding in the sides as you go.
6 egg roll wrappers
Use a dab of water on the end of the wrapper to seal it tightly. Set the egg roll aside and make the remaining ones.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Place the egg rolls in the basket or tray of your air fryer and brush all sides of each egg roll with vegetable oil or spray with oil.
Air fry the egg rolls for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cook time.
If desired, melt the butter and brush the cooked egg rolls with butter. Then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
Notes
Tart Granny Smith give you classic apple pie flavor. But sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala are good too. I recommend using whatever fresh apples you have in the fridge.
Rolling these can seem a little intimidating if you haven't made egg rolls before. The key is not to overstuff them. Plus remember, no one will care if they aren't perfectly shaped.
If you want to take a shortcut you can use canned apple pie filling. I
I sized this recipe for 6 egg rolls, since that is what fits in my air fryer in a single batch. But you can easily double it, especially if you have an entire pack of egg roll wrappers to use up.
