Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or canned peach slices (drained if canned)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Egg Rolls:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Caramel Sauce:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine the peach slices, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the peaches become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
- Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly.
- Use a dab of water or cornstarch paste to seal the top corner.
3. Roll in Sugar:
- Roll each peach-filled egg roll in granulated sugar to coat it evenly.
4. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, seam side down.
- Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning as needed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
6. Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, melt granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns into an amber-colored caramel.
- Stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted.
- Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring constantly (be cautious, as it may bubble up).
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the crispy Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls.
- Serve them hot and enjoy!
