Apple Pie Egg Rolls – Cinnamon apples are rolled into an egg roll wrapper with a little cream cheese and air fried until crispy. They are finished with a roll in cinnamon sugar.

My air fryer has certainly surprised me. I was worried it would be another appliance striving to be the next big thing and then falling flat. But in reality, it’s be super useful for making foods crispy without all the pain of frying in oil. I’ve made chicken wings, baked potatoes, French fries, and now I have a sweet treat to add to the list – Apple Pie Egg Rolls!

These apple pie egg rolls are made with refrigerated egg roll wrappers that you can find at any grocery store. My store had them in the produce section near the tofu. Each wrapper is filled with a little cream cheese and diced cinnamon sugar apples and rolled into an egg roll.

Butter cooking spray is sprayed on each one before they get fried to perfection in the air fryer. They get finished off with a little roll in more cinnamon sugar. I love to dip mine in caramel sauce for a little extra decadence.

Here are my Apple Pie Egg Rolls!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Dice the apples into small pieces. If the apple pieces are too large, it will make the egg rolls hard to roll and the egg rolls also will not cook evenly.
  2. Watch an egg roll tutorial. I needed a little help rolling my egg rolls so I watched a couple YouTube videos to get the hang of it. Here is a good one I recommend.
  3. Flip the egg rolls. During the air frying process, the egg rolls must be flipped to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  4. Air frying only. This recipe has only been tested in the air fryer. If you are going to fry in oil, do so at your own risk.

Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Prep Time30 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time50 minutes mins
Servings: 8 egg rolls

Ingredients

  • 3 cups peeled and diced granny smith apples
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 3½ teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 8 refrigerated egg roll wrappers
  • 1 8-ounce tub cream cheese
  • butter cooking spray
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup caramel sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Add diced apples, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt to a medium bowl and mix together. Set aside.
  • Grab one wonton wrapper and place on a clean counter in front of you, with a corner pointing towards you. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese thinly over the egg roll wrapper, leaving the edges clean. Scoop ⅓ cup of diced apple and lay in a horizontal line through the center of the egg roll wrapper.
  • Fold over the bottom corner over the center and gently, yet tightly pull over the center. Fold over the right and left corners of the wonton wrapper over the middle so they meet in the center. Brush a little water on the edges to seal them. Brush water on the top corner and roll it around the egg roll to seal it closed. Repeat with other 7 egg roll wrappers.
  • Place 4 egg rolls in the air fryer once it's preheated. Spray with butter cooking spray and then air fry for 5 minutes. Flip the egg rolls and air fry for 5 more minutes. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes. Repeat with 4 remaining egg rolls.
  • Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to shallow, wide-rimmed bowl. Add remaining cinnamon and then stir together. Once the egg rolls have cooled for 5 minutes, spray with more butter cooking spray and then roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve with caramel sauce for dipping.

    Apple Pie Egg Rolls – what a brilliant concept! I’m especially interested in the cream cheese addition; that sounds like it would add a lovely richness. Air frying them for crispiness and rolling in cinnamon sugar sounds like the perfect, irresistible finish. So excited to try!

    For gamers who value smooth gameplay and variety, Choox Sega is the perfect choice. It doesn’t overwhelm with complicated features but instead provides exactly what you need—quality games and a clean interface. I enjoy the fact that it works well even on mid-range devices, which many apps fail to achieve. Choox Sega has quickly become my favorite option for gaming on the go. A must-have app for anyone serious about enjoying games daily.

    Not precooking the apple mixture, do the apples soften in the short cooking in the airfryer?

Schnitzel Sub Sandwich – crispy fried chicken te Schnitzel Sub Sandwich – crispy fried chicken tenders topped with fresh baby arugula, a squeeze of lemon juice, and shaved Parmesan cheese in a soft hoagie bun! 

I tried this sandwich at a restaurant and fell so deeply in love that I HAD to recreate it at home, you guys! It was so SIMPLE yet so INCREDIBLE! 😍

The best part? It tastes fresh and light despite being a fried piece of chicken! The secret is all in the fresh toppings – the baby arugula, bright lemon juice, and shaved Parmesan cut through the richness of the fried chicken perfectly!

The biggest step is pounding and frying the chicken tenders, but don't worry – I use a shallow pool of oil instead of deep frying, which makes it SO much simpler at home! Just flatten the chicken evenly so it cooks through and gets super crispy!

Pro tip: Make sure to use the lemon! Fried food can taste rich and heavy, and the lemon juice is exactly what the chicken needs to lighten it up and add freshness!
Perfect for lunch, dinner, weeknight meals, or anytime you want a gourmet sandwich at home! 🥪

Texas Sheet Cake – a thin, moist chocolate cake Texas Sheet Cake – a thin, moist chocolate cake with a generous layer of fudgy chocolate icing on top! The ratio of cake to icing is absolute PERFECTION! 

Chocolate cake has been hit or miss for me my whole life, you guys! Either it's dry or bland or not chocolatey enough! But this Texas Sheet Cake? BY FAR my favorite chocolate cake of all time! 

It's perfectly moist, FULL of chocolate flavor, and that icing on top just sets it into overdrive! After one bite, I simply cannot stop eating!

The secret to this incredible cake is the right ratio of icing to cake and placing the icing on the cake while it's HOT! This seals in all the moisture and makes it absolutely DIVINE!

Pro tip: Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder instead of classic unsweetened – the chocolate flavor is way more potent! Plus, this cake bakes in under 20 minutes, so it's perfect for last-minute cravings!

Perfect for potlucks, parties, crowd feeding, or anytime you need to satisfy those chocolate cravings!

If you had told me 5 years ago that I'd be posting a brussels sprouts recipe on this blog, I wouldn't have believed you, you guys! All I knew about them was that they were a stinky vegetable nobody liked!

Then all of a sudden, brussels sprouts were on EVERY menu at EVERY restaurant I visited! I was shocked! So when my girlfriends ordered a large side to share at dinner, I decided to try them – and I was CONVERTED! 😍

They were roasted until crispy, coated in a honey mustard vinaigrette that was tangy, crispy, and sweet! Now I'm sharing MY version so you can convert brussels sprout haters too!

Pro tip: Toss the brussels sprouts in the vinaigrette while they're still hot so they absorb all those amazing flavors!

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls – ground beef seasoned wi Cheeseburger Egg Rolls – ground beef seasoned with mustard and Worcestershire, stuffed with American cheese and pickles, all wrapped in a crispy wonton wrapper! Served with a tangy burger sauce for dipping! 

Frying foods is not always my favorite thing to do, you guys! But when I decide to, it's gotta be worth it! And these cheeseburger egg rolls are TOTALLY worth it! You just can't get the same crisp on the wonton wrapper in the oven or air fryer!

The filling is just like a classic cheeseburger – ground beef, American cheese, a pickle, and just a hint of mustard! And the burger sauce with ketchup, mustard, and relish rounds out those classic burger flavors!

Pro tip: Drain the beef extremely well! Any excess oil will put holes in the wonton wrapper while it's frying!

Perfect for appetizers, game day, parties, tailgating, or anytime you want cheeseburger flavor in a crispy, fun package! 🍟

Coconut Tres Leches – a tropical twist on the cl Coconut Tres Leches – a tropical twist on the classic! Spongy cake soaked in three milks (including coconut cream instead of heavy cream!) and topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut! 

Despite my Hispanic heritage, tres leches is something I only started loving in my 20s, you guys! And when I did? I was almost ANGRY I had waited so long to try it!

I love taking classic recipes and giving them unique twists! For this one, I replaced the heavy cream with coconut cream and topped it with toasted coconut – because I LOVE coconut cream cake! The result? The best of both worlds – all the tres leches flavor with all the coconut goodness!

Pro tip: Make this cake a day in advance and let it sit overnight! Tres leches gets BETTER over time, and it makes a world of difference!

One of the best desserts I've made in a while – seriously, your mind will be blown with every bite!
