Ingredients

2 cups fresh or canned peaches, chopped

2 tbsp butter

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)

8–10 egg roll wrappers

Oil for frying

Optional: powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream for serving

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

Directions

Make the filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, I melt the butter, then add the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. I cook this mixture for 5–7 minutes until the peaches are soft and syrupy.

Thicken the filling: I stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the filling thickens. Then, I remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Assemble egg rolls: I place 2–3 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. I fold the sides in and roll it tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

Fry: I heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. After frying, I drain them on paper towels.

Serve: I dust them with powdered sugar and serve warm, often alongside vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 8–10 egg rolls, serving 4 to 5 people depending on appetite. From start to finish, including prep and cooking, it takes roughly 30 minutes to get these treats ready to enjoy.

Variations

I sometimes experiment with adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the filling for a citrusy twist. Another favorite variation is mixing in some chopped nuts or substituting peaches with other fruits like apples or berries. For a healthier option, baking the egg rolls at 400°F for about 15 minutes works well instead of frying.

Storage/Reheating

I recommend eating these peach cobbler egg rolls fresh for the best crunch and flavor. However, if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop them back in a hot oven or air fryer for about 5-7 minutes to crisp them up again.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Yes, I often use frozen peaches if fresh aren’t available. Just thaw and drain any excess liquid before cooking to avoid a watery filling.

What’s the best oil for frying?

I prefer using vegetable or canola oil because they have a high smoke point and neutral flavor, making them perfect for frying these egg rolls.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare and assemble the egg rolls ahead of time, storing them uncooked in the fridge for a few hours. Fry them just before serving to keep them crispy.

How do I prevent the egg rolls from bursting while frying?

I make sure not to overfill the wrappers and seal the edges well with water. Frying at the right temperature (around 350°F) also helps keep them intact.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Absolutely! Baking is a great alternative. Brush the egg rolls lightly with oil and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Conclusion

Making peach cobbler egg rolls is a delightful way to enjoy a classic dessert in a new form. I love how easy they are to prepare and how wonderfully they combine crispy texture with sweet, warm peaches. Whether for a casual snack or a special occasion, these egg rolls never fail to impress.
