Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are the ultimate fusion of crispy indulgence and warm, fruit-filled comfort. Imagine the nostalgic flavor of peach cobbler—spiced, syrupy, and sweet—wrapped in a golden, crunchy shell that shatters delightfully with every bite. These egg rolls take the heart of a classic Southern dessert and give it a playful, street-food twist that’s perfect for parties, gatherings, or a decadent weekend treat.

The magic lies in the contrast of textures and flavors. The tender peaches are lightly caramelized with brown sugar and cinnamon, bringing warmth and depth to the filling. A touch of vanilla enhances the richness, while a pinch of cornstarch helps achieve that luscious, jammy consistency we all crave in a cobbler. When wrapped inside a crispy egg roll and dusted in cinnamon sugar, it becomes a dessert experience that’s hard to beat.

What makes this recipe even better is its simplicity. With just a handful of pantry staples and a quick fry, you’ve got a dessert that looks impressive but is incredibly easy to execute. These are ideal for entertaining, as they can be made ahead and fried right before serving. They’re also endlessly customizable—perfect for experimenting with other fruits or even a cream cheese filling.

Best of all, they’re irresistible served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are guaranteed to satisfy that sweet tooth in a fun, fresh way.

Servings: 8–10 rolls
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained and chopped (or 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 8–10 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is bubbly and syrupy. If the mixture seems too runny, stir in the cornstarch and cook for another minute until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the peach mixture into the center of each wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water to seal the edge. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy—about 2–3 minutes per side.
5. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each egg roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
6. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a truly decadent finish.

Variations:

• Berry Twist: Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries (like raspberries or blueberries) to the peach filling for a burst of tartness.
• Cream Cheese Filling: Spread a thin layer of sweetened cream cheese on the wrapper before adding the peach filling for a richer, cheesecake-style version.
• Baked Option: Brush the rolled egg rolls with melted butter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden, flipping halfway through.
• Air Fryer Friendly: Lightly spray the rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once.

Tips:

• Make sure the peach mixture isn’t too wet to prevent soggy egg rolls; simmer a bit longer if needed.
• Don’t overfill the wrappers—this can cause them to burst during frying.
• Use a thermometer to keep oil temperature consistent for even frying.
• Roll the egg rolls in cinnamon sugar immediately after frying while still warm for best coating adherence.
• These are best served fresh, but you can prep and freeze uncooked rolls—just fry from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the cook time.
