These easy Apple Pie Egg Rolls are a naturally sweetened air fryer dessert (or even breakfast)! Baked, not fried, this dessert recipe is simple to make and cooks in only 8 minutes.
Apple pie egg rolls…are they a dessert or breakfast? They can be BOTH my friends! Naturally sweetened, and loved by kids and adults alike, these are the snack/breakfast/dessert we all deserve.
Apple Pie EGG ROLL INGREDIENTS
We’re rocking:
- Apples – something sweet and firm like fuji (we’re using leftover Healthy Cinnamon Apples)
- Egg roll wrappers
- Cinnamon
- Olive oil or melted coconut oil– use a pastry brush or a Misto
- (Optional dipping sauce): Plain Greek Yogurt, vanilla extract, dash of cinnamon, and brown sugar (related: How to Make Brown Sugar)
And while I use the air fryer (this is the model we have), I’ve included skillet and oven baking instructions as well. If you have leftover wrappers, whip up some of these other egg roll recipes: Air Fryer Pizza Rolls, Air Fryer Egg Rolls, Mac and Cheese Egg Rolls, and Bacon and Egg Rolls.
WHERE TO BUY EGG ROLL WRAPPERS
In most grocery stores, you’ll find egg roll wrappers in the produce section near bottled salad dressings and sauces. They’re super affordable at $2-3 for 20. If you have access to a great Asian market, you’ll find a much wider variety there.
HOW DO YOU WRAP AN EGG ROLL?
I’m so glad you asked! I came up with this handy little step-by-step photo guide for you.
- Set up a “wrapping” station with your cinnamon apples, a plate, a small dish of water, and a pastry brush.
- Place the wrapper on a plate or cutting board. You’ll want it shaped like a diamond, with the bottom pointing toward you. Place 2 tbsp of the cooked apples in the bottom third of the wrapper.
- Roll up the bottom point of the diamond so that it goes up and over the apples, but only goes to the center of the wrapper.
- Fold in the left side of the wrapper to cover the center.
- Fold in the right side of the wrapper to cover the left fold. It will look like you’re making a delicious envelope at this point.
- Starting from the bottom, roll the egg roll up until just the top point of the wrapper is still exposed.
- Brush some water on the top point of the egg roll, and fold down. You may need to brush a bit more water over the edges to “seal” the egg roll closed.
- Repeat until you have 4-5 egg rolls made. You can make more while the first batch is cooking.
Apple Pie Egg Rolls PRO TIPS/RECIPE NOTES
- I prefer to brush olive oil over the egg rolls rather than spray them. I find the wrappers bubble up more when sprayed.
- You can make these ahead of time (yay)! Keep unbaked egg rolls covered in the fridge for up to a day, or freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet and then transfer to freezer storage (I used these silicone Stasher bags). Brush frozen egg rolls with olive oil and then bake for the normal amount of time.
- Feel free to dip these in caramel sauce or sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

Loved the Apple Pie Eggrolls & it turned out perfect. We have the same air fryer. I appreciate the simplicity of letting the apples shine with a dipping sauce on the side. I made a caramel sauce to go with them & a dark chocolate ganache. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe.
Mmmm, I love the idea of the chocolate and caramel sauce. Excellent additions!
Delicious recipe. Was a big hit with Carmel and Chocolate sauce. Amazing air fryer dessert!
