Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
- Peel, core, and chop the tart green apples into small pieces.
- In a large heavy skillet, combine the chopped apples, sugar, lemon zest, nutmeg, and a sprinkle of apple pie spice.
- Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, covered, until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the apples are tender, stir in the walnuts and taste the filling. Adjust the seasonings as needed. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing towards you.
- Spoon several tablespoons of the apple filling onto the center of the wrapper, forming a diagonal line from one corner to the other.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll up the wrapper tightly towards the remaining corner, making sure the filling is enclosed.
- Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to seal the egg roll.
- Repeat this process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
-
Bake the Egg Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down on a buttered baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
- Brush the tops of the egg rolls with melted butter and sprinkle them with sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.
- Bake the egg rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Once the egg rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- To serve, drizzle individual dessert plates with caramel sauce.
- Place the warm egg rolls on top of the caramel sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Optionally, you can dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
These Dessert Egg Rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the wrappers are crispy and the filling is warm and gooey. Serve them as a delightful ending to any meal or as a sweet snack to satisfy your cravings. Enjoy the combination of flavors and textures in every bite! 🍏🥧🥢
