Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Remember when Trevor and I went apple picking?

Yeah, we happened to buy pounds and pounds of apples. With so many apples, I went on a search to find recipes for desserts that weren't apple pie. As always, Pinterest didn't disappoint!

I found this gem and decided one Friday afternoon to test it out with our fresh apples.

If you've read any other of my recipe posts, you know that I basically modify every single recipe to work with what I have on hand. I'm a strong believer in not running to the grocery store to get a single ingredient. In this case, it was the lemon.

So here's my modified version of the above recipe. I kind of halfed the recipe but kept the same amount of apples because I really wanted to apples to be the star of the dessert and we just really love apples!

• 2 apples - I used a Golden Delicious and an Empire
• 1/6 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• a dash of nutmeg
• a dash of salt
• 9 egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg - lightly beaten

Preheat your oven to 375*. Peel and chop your apples into small chunks {I cut one apple into small pieces and one into larger chunks for a variety of crisp apple crunch after baking}. 

In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients and then add the apples. Toss the apples to moisten the dry ingredients and coat the apples. 

Lay out your egg roll wrappers. One by one, egg wash the perimeter of the wrapper then fill with the apple mixture and roll up.

Place rolls on a lightly greased cookie sheet, then brush outside of rolls with leftover egg wash.

Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes. Pull out and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Return to oven and finish baking for another 5 minutes.

Let cool for a couple minutes and serve.

Trevor and I enjoyed ours with some simple Vanilla Bean ice cream but they're super yummy alone, too. They taste just like apple pie - but in egg roll form. So good!

I've been on a hunt for traditional desserts with a twist that I can take to our Thanksgiving meals {yes, we have more than one - ugh, can you say stuffed?!} and this one is a winner!

Try 'em! Let me know what you think!
