Why This Works

Key Ingredients

🍑 3 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
🍯 2 tablespoons brown sugar
🌿 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🍪 8 egg roll wrappers
🧂 Pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced peaches, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated.

2️⃣ Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place a spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the peach filling in the center of the wrapper.

3️⃣ Fold and Seal: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Brush the top corner with a little water to help it seal, and tightly roll the wrapper away from you to create a sealed egg roll.

4️⃣ Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Arrange the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5️⃣ Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey!

Handy Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the peach filling.
• If your peaches are particularly juicy, let the filling sit for 10-15 minutes to allow some of the moisture to escape before assembling the egg rolls. This will prevent soggy wrappers.
• You can substitute other fruits, like berries or apples, for the peaches, adapting the sugar amount as needed.

Heat Control

The air fryer’s temperature is crucial for achieving the perfect balance of crispy wrapper and warm filling. 370°F (190°C) is ideal. Monitor the egg rolls closely; if they brown too quickly, reduce the temperature slightly. Doneness is indicated by a deep golden-brown color and a crisp sound when gently squeezed.

Crunch Factor

The air fryer is key to achieving the desired crunch. The high heat quickly crisps the egg roll wrappers, creating a satisfying contrast to the soft peach filling. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can trap moisture and prevent even browning.

Pro Kitchen Tricks

• Prep ahead: Prepare the peach filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
• Even cooking: To ensure all egg rolls cook evenly, arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
• Flavor boost: A sprinkle of coarse sugar on the egg rolls before air frying adds extra sweetness and a delightful textural element.

Storage Tips

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Gift Packaging Ideas

These egg rolls make a delightful gift! Package them in a pretty box lined with parchment paper, tied with a ribbon. A small card with the recipe would be a thoughtful touch. You could also arrange them in a decorative basket, adding a small jar of honey or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

Flavor Variations

🌟 Spiced Peach: Add a pinch of cardamom or ginger to the peach filling for a warm, aromatic twist.
🌟 Citrus Burst: Incorporate the zest and juice of a lime or lemon into the peach filling for a bright, tangy flavor.
🌟 Nutty Delight: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for added texture and nutty flavor.
🌟 Chocolate Swirl: Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the finished egg rolls for a decadent dessert.

Troubleshooting

• Soggy Wrappers: Ensure the filling isn’t too wet. Let it sit for a while to drain before assembling. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer.
• Burnt Egg Rolls: Reduce the air fryer temperature and monitor them closely.
• Fruit Substitutions: Adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of the fruit you’re using.

FAQ

• Can I bake these instead of air frying? Yes, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, but the texture won’t be as crispy.
• Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, assemble the egg rolls and freeze them uncooked. Air fry from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
• How can I scale this recipe? Simply multiply the ingredient quantities proportionally to make more or fewer egg rolls.
• Are these gluten-free? No, this recipe uses egg roll wrappers which typically contain gluten. Look for gluten-free egg roll wrappers if needed.
• Can I make these vegan? Use vegan butter and ensure your egg roll wrappers are vegan-friendly.
