Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 4 peaches, fresh
- 6 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups canola oil (for frying)
filling ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
topping ingredients:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Dice fresh peaches into small, uniform cubes, ensuring even cooking and texture throughout the filling.
- In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Melt ingredients over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle cornstarch into the peach mixture, whisking vigorously to create a smooth, thickened sauce that coats the peaches evenly.
- Remove peach filling from heat and allow to cool slightly, preventing potential wrapper soginess.
- Lay egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, positioning it like a diamond shape.
- Spoon a precise amount of cooled peach filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper tightly over the filling, then fold in the side corners to create a secure envelope.
- Roll the wrapper upward, ensuring a snug and compact shape, and seal the top edge with a light brush of water.
- Heat canola oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, monitoring temperature with a kitchen thermometer for consistent frying.
- Carefully place egg rolls into hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to maintain oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until golden brown and crispy on all surfaces.
- Remove egg rolls with tongs, placing on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water to create a smooth, pourable glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm egg rolls, allowing it to cascade and set slightly before serving.
Notes
- Dice peaches uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent uneven texture in every bite.
- Control heat carefully when melting sugar and spices to avoid burning and create a rich, caramel-like base for the filling.
- Use cornstarch strategically to thicken the peach mixture, ensuring a luscious, clingy sauce that won’t leak during frying.
- Cool filling completely before wrapping to prevent wrapper breakdown and maintain crisp exterior when frying.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F for perfect golden-brown crunch without greasy residue.
- Fry in small batches to preserve oil heat and achieve even, crispy coating on egg rolls.
- Drain on wire rack instead of paper towels to keep exterior crisp and prevent soggy bottoms.
