Ingredients
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large can of sliced peaches, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp cinnamon, divided
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
- Cook the Peaches: In a medium saucepan, combine the drained and rinsed peach slices with ¼ cup of water, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the peaches are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Flavorings: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Prepare Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Add Filling: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the peach filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold and Roll: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly up toward the top corner. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Prepare the Coating
- Mix Brown Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine the ½ cup of brown sugar with 1 tbsp of cinnamon.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the assembled egg rolls with melted butter, then roll them in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat evenly.
Step 4: Cook the Egg Rolls
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake Egg Rolls: Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You can also fry the egg rolls in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 5: Serve
- Cool Slightly: Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve: Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Cooking Notes and Tips
- Canned Peaches: Make sure to drain and rinse the canned peaches well to remove excess syrup, which can make the filling too sweet.
- Sealing the Wrappers: Ensure the egg roll wrappers are sealed well with the beaten egg to prevent them from opening during baking or frying.
- Baking vs. Frying: Baking the egg rolls is a healthier option, while frying will give them an extra crispy texture. Choose the method that suits your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches. Peel and slice them, then follow the same steps to cook the filling. You may need to adjust the sugar and cooking time based on the sweetness and ripeness of the peaches.
How do I store leftover egg rolls?

Vanilla glaze, caramel sauce, or even a simple powdered sugar and milk glaze are great dipping sauces for these egg rolls.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
