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?

After making approximately ONE MILLION pumpkin tre After making approximately ONE MILLION pumpkin treats recently, I was desperate for something with all those cozy fall vibes but maybe... a little less pumpkin? 

So I set my sights on something that doesn't get nearly enough love in the dessert world: SWEET POTATOES! 

And here's my controversial opinion: Sweet potato beats pumpkin ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. There, I said it! 

These Sweet Potato Cupcakes are super moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with the creamiest cinnamon cream cheese frosting. 

They taste similar to pumpkin cupcakes (so if you're a die-hard pumpkin lover, you can absolutely swap in pumpkin puree!), but here's why sweet potato wins:
✨ More starch = MORE moisture and density in the cupcake
✨ The flavor is 100x better (fight me on this!)
✨ That perfect balance between sweet and earthy

But what I'm MOST proud of is how the frosting and cake work together. You know how sometimes you get a cupcake with frosting that's way too sweet so you just eat the cake? Or killer frosting but blah cake so you only eat the frosting? NOT THIS CUPCAKE. 

The spiced cake needs a little sweetness to balance it out, and the tart cream cheese frosting is PERFECT. They're soulmates! 

Important tips:
-Don't undercook them or they'll sink in the center (but more frosting fixes everything!)
-Fill the liners 3/4 full—not all the way—to get exactly 12 cupcakes
-Use a 2M Wilton tip for that fancy frosting swirl (or just spread with a knife!)

Y'all, I need to talk about these Kentucky Derby C Y'all, I need to talk about these Kentucky Derby Cookie Bars because they might just be the most decadent thing I've ever created!

So here's the deal: I love taking traditional recipes and giving them a major upgrade. 

Traditional Derby Pie is delicious, but I wanted to make something even MORE special. And these bars? They're Derby Pie on steroids!

Here's what makes them absolutely incredible:
The Cookie Crust: Instead of regular pie crust, we're using a thick chocolate chip cookie base. Game. Changer.
The Filling: Loaded with pecans, chocolate chips, and a hint of bourbon that adds this rich, complex flavor. The filling is more dense and cakey than traditional Derby Pie, which gives you the perfect chewy texture.
The Bourbon Caramel: This homemade bourbon caramel sauce is what takes these bars over the top. It's sweet, buttery, and has that gorgeous bourbon depth. And yes, the alcohol cooks out, so it's safe for everyone (even made these while I was pregnant!)!

Important tips:
Don't chop your pecans too finely—leave nice chunks for better texture
If the bars start browning too quickly, just cover them with foil while the center finishes baking
Don't over-thicken the caramel sauce on the stove—it will thicken as it cools!

These bars are perfect for Derby Day (obviously!), but honestly, they're amazing for any summer gathering, BBQ, or potluck.

Y'all, I just made the BEST hot chocolate of my li Y'all, I just made the BEST hot chocolate of my life and I need you to try it immediately!

Growing up, I only knew hot chocolate from those packets where you just add hot water. I had NO idea you could make it from scratch so easily! 

All it takes is hot milk, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and the secret ingredient... PEANUT BUTTER!

I've always been obsessed with the peanut butter and chocolate combo (if you've been following me, you know this is true!), but for some reason, it never occurred to me to add it to hot chocolate until recently. And now I'm officially never going back to regular hot chocolate!

What makes this recipe so special? The peanut butter adds this incredible creaminess and depth of flavor without overpowering the chocolate. 

Plus, you don't need to add any extra sugar because the chocolate chips provide all the sweetness you need. 

Top it with marshmallows and maybe a drizzle of chocolate and peanut butter sauce, and you've got pure heaven in a mug.

Important tips:
-Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and peanut butter—too much heat will cause the chocolate to harden
-Add the milk SLOWLY to the chocolate mixture and whisk constantly. It makes blending so much easier!
-This recipe makes 4 cups, and leftovers keep for 5 days in the fridge!

This is the ultimate cozy drink for cold winter nights, holiday gatherings, or honestly any time you need a little comfort. It's ready in less than 10 minutes!

When I had a serious craving for pain au chocolat When I had a serious craving for pain au chocolat but didn't want to spend DAYS making croissant dough, I had a brilliant idea: What if I used brioche instead?

And let me tell you... this might be even BETTER than the original!

Brioche au Chocolat gives you all the buttery, flaky flavor of croissants but with the soft, pillowy texture of bread. Plus, that melted chocolate center? Pure heaven! 

The best part is that the entire process is done in a stand mixer, which makes it so much simpler than traditional croissants.

Here's why this recipe is perfect:
🌙 The dough is made overnight, so you can just wake up and bake in the morning
✨ No lamination or complicated folding techniques required
🍫 Each bun has a hidden chocolate surprise in the center
💯 Foolproof method that works every time
🔑 Three tips for success:

Add the butter one tablespoon at a time and let each piece fully incorporate before adding the next (it might look like it won't mix in, then suddenly it disappears!)

The overnight refrigeration is essential—it lets the dough rest AND makes it so much easier to work with.

Don't skip the egg wash! It's what gives these buns their gorgeous golden sheen

These are best served slightly warm (just 10 seconds in the microwave will do!), so the chocolate gets perfectly melty. Trust me, you'll want to make these on repeat!

Craving something fresh and healthy after all thos Craving something fresh and healthy after all those holiday treats? This Quinoa Harvest Salad is calling your name! 

I recently tried a similar salad on a business trip and became OBSESSED with the combination of roasted sweet potatoes, tart cranberries, and creamy goat cheese. So naturally, I had to recreate it at home!

What makes this salad special? The roasted sweet potatoes add natural sweetness that perfectly complements the tangy goat cheese and dried cranberries. Plus, the crunch from the pepitas adds amazing texture. 

Top it with grilled chicken and protein-rich quinoa, and you've got yourself a complete meal that's both satisfying and nutritious!

💡 Two important tips:
-Let your roasted sweet potatoes and quinoa cool completely before adding to the salad (warm ingredients = sad, wilted greens!)
-Whisk that homemade Dijon vinaigrette until smooth and emulsified

This salad is perfect for January when you're craving lighter, healthier options. It's also great for meal prep, post-workout meals, or bringing to gatherings!
