Ingredients You’ll Need
Every ingredient in Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls serves a special purpose, building on classic dessert flavors while ensuring crispy, juicy, utterly satisfying results. Gather these essentials – most are probably already in your pantry – and get ready for a treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat!
- Fresh or canned peaches (2 cups, peeled and diced): Juicy peaches are the star here—fresh for peak season sweetness, or canned for year-round convenience.
- Granulated sugar (1/4 cup + 1/2 cup for coating): Sweetens the filling and creates that irresistible cinnamon-sugar crunch.
- Brown sugar (1 tablespoon): Adds a subtle caramel depth that takes the peach filling to the next level.
- Cinnamon (2 teaspoons – divided): A generous dose of warm spice, both cooked with the peaches and tossed with the sugar for the final coating.
- Nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon): Just a hint lends that unmistakable, old-fashioned cobbler aroma.
- Lemon juice (1 teaspoon): Brightens up the peach flavor and keeps the filling from getting too heavy.
- Cornstarch + water (1 tablespoon each): Forms a slurry that thickens the peach filling for perfectly scoopable egg rolls with no soggy bottoms.
- Egg roll wrappers (8): These ultra-crispy pockets make for the best handheld dessert, ever.
- Vegetable oil (for frying): Ensures the egg rolls fry up crisp and golden every time.
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional): A pretty final flourish that melts into the warm rolls just so.
- Melted butter (2 tablespoons, for coating): Helps the cinnamon sugar stick while adding a touch of extra richness.
How to Make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
Step 1: Cook the Peach Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir everything together and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, just until the peaches soften a bit and their juices start to flow. Stir in your cornstarch-water mixture and cook for another minute or two until the filling thickens up. This creates a luscious, almost jammy texture that won’t leak out of your egg rolls. Let the filling cool just a little before rolling.
Step 2: Fill and Roll the Egg Rolls
Lay out an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on your clean work surface. Scoop roughly 2 tablespoons of the peach filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner up and over the peaches, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly to keep everything snug. Seal the edge with a dab of water, so nothing escapes during frying. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling until you have a full tray of peach-stuffed rolls.
Step 3: Fry Until Golden and Crispy
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a small piece of wrapper—it should sizzle immediately. Fry your egg rolls in batches, turning as needed, for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they’re a gorgeous golden brown all over. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate and let them cool slightly.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
While the egg rolls are still warm, brush them with melted butter. Then, roll each one in the cinnamon sugar blend until they’re thoroughly coated. This final layer gives you the signature cobbler crunch and that unforgettable sweetness.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once all of your Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are ready, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. They’re incredible while still warm, especially when served with a chilly scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Get ready for rave reviews!
How to Serve Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
Garnishes
For a finishing touch, generously sprinkle your Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with powdered sugar or a pinch of extra cinnamon. For the ultimate dessert plate, add sliced fresh peaches, mint leaves, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to make every serving feel special.
Side Dishes
These egg rolls shine on their own, but they’re especially magical paired with cold vanilla ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream—the creamy contrast is divine. If you’re serving a brunch spread, offer alongside fresh berries or a fruit salad for a pop of color and brightness.
Creative Ways to Present
Turn Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls into a showstopper by arranging them in a basket lined with a gingham napkin for that classic picnic vibe. For parties, cut the egg rolls in half on a diagonal and display on a platter with toothpicks and tiny bowls of ice cream for dippable, bite-sized treats. Get playful with presentation and you’ll make dessert the highlight of any gathering!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Leftover Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls will keep beautifully in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day, or in the fridge for up to three days. Allow them to cool completely before storing to keep them as crispy as possible.
Freezing
You can freeze both un-fried and already fried egg rolls! To freeze, place assembled, unfried egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Fried egg rolls can be individually wrapped and stored the same way. They’ll keep for up to two months. When you’re ready for dessert, fry or reheat them straight from the freezer—no need to thaw first.
Reheating
To bring back that signature crunch, reheat leftover Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls in the oven at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or air fry for 4 to 5 minutes. Skip the microwave if you can—it tends to make the wrappers soggy, and you want every bite to stay delightfully crisp.
FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain the peaches well before using. This ensures the filling isn’t watery and the egg rolls fry up crisp instead of soggy.
What type Dessert
Fresh egg roll wrappers you find in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores are ideal. Spring roll wrappers can work in a pinch, but you’ll miss out on that signature shatter from traditional egg roll pastry.
Do I have to fry the egg rolls, or can I bake them?
Frying brings the very best crispy result, but you can bake Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls at 400°F on a parchment-lined baking sheet brushed with oil. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Look for gluten-free egg roll or spring roll wrappers (they’re more common these days), and ensure your cornstarch and other ingredients are certified gluten-free. The filling itself is naturally gluten-free.
What’s the best way to prevent soggy egg rolls?
Be sure your peach filling thickens up in the pan and allow it to cool a little before assembling. Also, be sure to seal the edges tightly and fry at the proper oil temperature for that ultimate crisp exterior.
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to take your love of comfort desserts to a whole new level, give these Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls a try. They’re crunchy, sweet, perfectly spiced, and wildly fun to eat—just the kind of treat that brings everyone bounding to the kitchen. I’m cheering you on for your first (of many!) batches—don’t be surprised if they disappear before you know it!
