How to Make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
-
Prepare the Peaches: Peel your fresh peaches using a vegetable peeler, then remove their pits. Slice them into ½” pieces for a juicy filling.
-
Cook the Filling: In a medium saucepan, mix the peaches, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, cornstarch, and butter. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Chill the Mixture: Transfer the warm peach filling to a bowl and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to handle when assembling the egg rolls.
-
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a dry surface with one corner facing you. Add approximately ¼ cup of the chilled peach filling at the bottom.
-
Wrap the Filling: Fold the closest corner over the filling, tucking it underneath. Press down the sides to flatten, then fold the left and right sides towards the center, creating a neat package.
-
Seal the Egg Rolls: Brush the top edge of the wrapper with your egg wash (egg mixed with water). Roll tightly to secure the filling, placing the seam side down on a plate.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat canola oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls to the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes, or until they achieve a deep golden brown. Transfer them to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
-
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While they’re warm, roll the fried egg rolls in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon for an extra sweet touch. Serve immediately, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Optional: Serve with a drizzle of caramel for an indulgent twist.

Make Ahead Options
These Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are perfect for meal prep enthusiasts looking to save time! You can prepare the peach filling up to 3 days in advance; simply cook it as described, then allow it to cool completely before refrigerating in an airtight container. For assembly day, take the filling out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Assemble the egg rolls just before frying to ensure they remain crispy and delicious. Remember, maintaining quality is key, so avoid pre-frying them. Once fried, enjoy immediately or keep warm until ready to serve for that just-made taste!
How to Store and Freeze Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
Room Temperature: Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours after frying. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Fridge: Store leftover egg rolls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. This will prevent them from becoming stale while maintaining their deliciousness.
Freezer: For longer storage, freeze un-fried egg rolls wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a resealable freezer bag. They can last up to 3 months before losing quality.
Reheating: To reheat, bake frozen egg rolls at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and crispy. This keeps them delightful and crunchy!
Expert Tips for Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
- Perfect Peaches: Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor and texture. Avoid overripe ones, as they can become mushy during cooking.
- Chill Filling: Refrigerating the peach filling is crucial; it makes it easier to handle and reduces the chance of soggy egg rolls.
- Seal Carefully: Ensure the edges of the egg rolls are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during frying. A thorough egg wash does wonders!
- Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at 350°F for optimal frying; too cool and the egg rolls might absorb excess oil, making them greasy.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Roll your egg rolls in cinnamon sugar while they’re still warm for the best adherence and flavor explosion.
With these tips in hand, you’ll be well on your way to making the best Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls ever!
Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls Recipe FAQs
How do I choose the best peaches for this recipe?
Absolutely! Look for peaches that are firm to the touch but yield slightly when pressed, indicating ripeness. Avoid any that have dark spots all over, which may indicate overripeness or spoilage. Yellow peaches are ideal for this recipe due to their sweetness and juicy texture, making them perfect for a delightful filling.
How should I store leftover Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls?
To store any leftovers, simply place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. Just ensure they’re cooled completely beforehand—this helps them maintain their crunch. Reheating in the oven is best, so they stay crispy—just pop them in at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes.
Can I freeze Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls?
Definitely! To freeze, wrap un-fried egg rolls tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, no need to thaw! Just fry them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. You’ll have crispy egg rolls in no time!
What can I do if my egg roll wrappers are tearing?
Very! If you notice them tearing, it’s likely due to them being too dry. To prevent this, keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while you work with them. If they still tear, don’t worry! Carefully patch the wrapper by adding a small piece of another wrapper over the tear and sealing with egg wash.
Are there any dietary considerations to note?
It’s important to be mindful! If you’re cooking for someone with specific allergies, keep in mind that this recipe contains gluten (from the egg roll wrappers) and dairy (from the butter and optional ice cream). For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free egg roll wrappers, which are available in many grocery stores. Always check labels to ensure they match dietary needs.
How can I customize my Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls?
For sure! Feel free to add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, for added crunch. You can also experiment with spices—adding nutmeg or allspice will introduce a wonderful depth of flavor. If you want to enhance the fruitiness, consider mixing in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries into the peach filling. The more, the merrier!
