Hi Bold Bakers! Fall is Pie Season! But let’s not make plain old regular pies, let’s shake things up a bit. We are going to put a Big and Bold twist on a traditional pie with Apple Pie Egg Rolls. Oh, and did I mention they are baked not fried? Already have an account? So what are egg rolls? Traditionally they are savory Asian Fried Rolls that you find at a takeaway. However, we are baking ours and saving our calories for more dessert. They still come out golden and delicious without the extra fat. Just a Note: The egg roll wrappers are available in Asian Markets in the freezer section but I also put a link below to buy them online. Failing that you can always use filo pastry or puff pastry.
The Dessert Egg Rolls pack a big punch for a small dessert. However, they lack nothing. Make up a few flavors so your guests have a variety to taste. And if you make all three flavors you can do a Dessert Egg Rolls roulette. For the apple filling, I chose granny smith apples because I find they add a nice sour balance to the sweetness of the sugar and cinnamon. If you think your local green apples are too sour, try using a Fuji, Pink Lady, or any local sweet apple as one of your three green apples.
Wait, you want even more Dessert Egg Rolls? Here are Pumpkin Pie Egg Rolls and Pecan Pie Egg Rolls. Fall in love with Baking this time of year. I have plenty of recipes to keep you busy. Try my Apple Crisp, Twix Pie, and even my Homemade Pop-Tarts.
