Instructions

Step 1: Setup

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Peach Mixture

  1. Dice Peaches:
    Dice the drained peach slices into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook Filling:
    In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in ¼ cup water. Add the diced peaches and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Flavorings:
    Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Fill and Roll:
    Lay an egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of peach filling onto the lower third. Fold the bottom point over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top point.
  2. Seal:
    Brush a little beaten egg along the edge to seal the roll completely.

Step 4: Coat and Prepare for Baking

  1. Butter and Sugar Coating:
    Dip each roll in melted butter, then roll in a mixture of ½ cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  2. Arrange on Tray:
    Place coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Rotate the tray halfway through for even browning.

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serve Warm: Best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
  • Pairings: Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Storage: Cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make wrappers soggy.

Helpful Notes About the Recipe

  • Sweetness Adjustment: Reduce brown sugar or substitute with honey for less sweetness.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free egg roll wrappers.
  • Fruit Variations: Experiment with apples or berries for different flavors.
