Ingredients
Filling
- 2 (15 ounce) cans of peaches in 100% juice (reserve 1 Tablespoon of juice)
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup white sugar, divided
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Egg Rolls and Frying
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Canola or peanut oil (for frying, about 2-3 inches depth)
Icing Dip (Optional)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cornstarch Mixture: Drain the peaches and reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved juice with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and set aside.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter over medium-high heat.
- Cook Sugar Mixture: Add ½ cup white sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the melted butter. Bring the mixture to a boil while whisking in the cornstarch mixture. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for several minutes until thickened.
- Add Peaches and Cool Filling: Gently stir in the drained peaches to the thickened mixture, then remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool completely before assembling egg rolls.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the remaining ½ cup white sugar with the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
- Fill Egg Rolls: Wet a finger with water. Lay one egg roll wrapper flat and place a spoonful of cooled filling in the center. Moisten all edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold Egg Rolls: Fold in the left and right corners over the filling, then fold the bottom corner up. Roll tightly toward the top corner to seal the edges.
- Repeat: Continue filling and rolling the remaining wrappers using the same method.
- Heat Oil: Heat 2-3 inches of canola or peanut oil in a heavy-duty pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Egg Rolls: Fry egg rolls in batches, cooking each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Coat: Remove the fried egg rolls from oil and immediately toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a wire cooling rack to cool slightly.
- Make Optional Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
- Serve: Serve the warm peach cobbler egg rolls with the optional vanilla icing dip for added sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the peach filling is fully cooled before filling the wrappers to prevent them from tearing.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan for frying to maintain consistent oil temperature.
- Adjust frying time slightly depending on your stove and pan to avoid burning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in an oven for best crispness.
- The optional icing dip adds a nice creamy contrast but can be omitted for a lighter dessert.
