Tips

  • Don’t overstuff the egg roll wrappers. If they are overstuffed, the apple filling can leak out.
  • Cook the egg rolls as soon as they are filled, they will become soggy if they are stuffed more than 30 minutes ahead of time.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer tray or basket, leave enough room for the hot air to circulate around the egg rolls for the best results.
  • If you are making a large batch of apple pie rolls, keep them warm on a baking sheet in the oven heated at 300 degrees f while you are cooking the remaining egg rolls.
  • Keep a small bowl of water in your work area to moisten your finger. Run your finger along the edge of the wrapper to help seal the egg rolls.
  • Place a damp towel or paper towel over the egg roll wrappers to keep them from drying out.

How to store and use leftovers

Store leftover apple pie egg rolls in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Leftover egg rolls will most likely be a little soggy after they come out of the refrigerator but will crisp up when they are reheated in the air fryer or oven at 350 degrees for ups to 15 minutes.

Variations

Here are some suggestions for making this tasty egg roll recipe your own.

Pears – Replace the apples with pears for pear dessert egg rolls.

Add berries – Add a few tablespoons of frozen blueberries or cherries to the apples in the pan for a mixed fruit egg roll.

Add nuts – Add a few tablespoons of chopped toasted pecans or walnuts to the fruit filling.

Change up the wrapper – Use wonton wrappers for mini apple pie egg roll wrappers, crepes, or flour tortillas.

Can I make air fryer apple pie egg rolls in the oven?

Yes, you can easily make these air fryer egg rolls in the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the egg rolls onto the baking sheet. Place them into a preheated 400-degree oven until they become golden and crispy – about 10 to 15 minutes.

  1. These look delicious and different. That’s always the challenge for me with anything air fried, the batches can’t be very big. But your tips for keeping them warm are great.
