Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the wrappers—this prevents leaks while frying.
- Seal edges well with water for a perfect roll.
- Fry in batches to keep oil hot and rolls crispy.
- For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
Variations to Try
- Caramel Apple Egg Rolls – drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Chocolate Drizzle – top with melted chocolate.
- Pie Crust Swap – use pie dough instead of wrappers for a different texture.
- Berry Blend – mix apples with blueberries or raspberries.
