Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned—drained and chopped)
Butter
Sugar (white and/or brown sugar)
Cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
Ground cinnamon (warm spice touch)
Vanilla extract
Egg roll wrappers
Water (for sealing wrappers)
Oil for frying (or spray for air-frying)
Optional cinnamon-sugar or powdered sugar coating

For dipping (optional):

Powdered sugar
Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Directions

Make the filling: In a saucepan, combine peaches, butter, sugar(s), cinnamon, and vanilla. Bring to a simmer. Stir in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with a bit of water) until the mixture thickens. Allow to cool.
Assemble egg rolls: Place a spoonful of cooled filling in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Brush edges with water, fold sides in, and roll tightly to seal.
Fry or air-fry:
- Deep-frying: Heat oil to around 350 °F and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy.
- Air-frying: Lightly spray rolls with oil and air-fry at about 375 °F, flipping halfway, until golden.
Optional coating or dip: Toss hot egg rolls in cinnamon-sugar or dust with powdered sugar. Serve with a simple vanilla glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, if desired.

Servings and timing

Servings: Typically yields around 8–12 egg rolls
Prep time: 15–20 minutes
Cook time: ~10 minutes (frying or air-frying)
Total time: Approximately 30 minutes, including cooling

Variations

Use vegan butter and dairy-free milk to make vegan-friendly versions
Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra spice complexity
Fill wrappers with peach pie filling if you’re pressed for time
Try a drizzle of white chocolate or caramel after frying
Make bite-sized versions using won-ton wrappers for mini treats

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days
Reheat in a toaster oven, conventional oven, or air fryer to retain crispiness
Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrappers soft

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes! Just make sure to drain them well before cooking—adjust sugar accordingly if they’re sweetened.

What’s the best way to seal the wrappers?

Use a little water on the wrapper edges and press firmly to seal—this helps prevent filling from leaking during frying.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes—brush them with oil and bake at 400 °F until golden and crispy, flipping once for even browning.

Can I prepare ahead?

Absolutely. Assemble the rolls, refrigerate briefly, and freeze them before frying. Fry straight from the fridge or freezer when ready.

What’s a good dipping sauce?

A vanilla glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla works beautifully. You can also serve with a side of ice cream or caramel dip.

How do I keep them from getting soggy?

Drain filling well, don’t overfill the wrappers, and fry or air-fry at the right temperature. Cool on a rack—don’t stack—to keep crisp.

Are they kid-friendly?

Totally! Sweet, crunchy, handheld—perfect for little fingers (just let them cool enough before serving).

Can I air-fry multiple at once?

Yes, just ensure they’re not overcrowded. Flip halfway for uniform crisping.

What oil should I use?

Any high smoke-point oil like canola, vegetable, or peanut oil works well for frying. Use a light spray for air-frying.

Can I add other fillings?

You could swirl in cream cheese or layer in berries alongside peaches for extra flavor variation.

Conclusion

Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls turn a classic dessert into a fun, crispy treat. Quick to prepare and endlessly adaptable, they’re sure to impress whether served at a gathering or enjoyed solo.
