Ingredients

Filling:

2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Egg Rolls:

8 egg roll wrappers
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional Toppings:

Powdered sugar for dusting
Vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and let cool.
Assemble Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon 2–3 tbsp of peach filling in the center. Brush edges with melted butter. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top corner with butter. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
Fry Egg Rolls: Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for the ultimate indulgence.

Tips for Perfect Southern Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Ripeness Matters: Use ripe but firm peaches. Overripe peaches can become mushy during cooking.
Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make wrapping tricky and lead to spills during frying.
Crispy Finish: Frying at the correct temperature ensures a crisp exterior without absorbing excess oil. Use a thermometer for best results.
Make Ahead: You can assemble the egg rolls and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before frying.

Variations

Mini Egg Rolls: Cut wrappers into smaller squares for bite-sized treats.
Peach & Cream Cheese: Add a small spoonful of cream cheese to the peach filling for a creamy twist.
Baked Version: Brush egg rolls with butter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these peach cobbler egg rolls as a summer dessert at BBQs, family gatherings, or brunch.
Pair with sweet dips: vanilla glaze, caramel sauce, or chocolate drizzle.
Add fresh mint or edible flowers for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
