Ingredients

For the Peach Egg Rolls:

• 2 cups chopped peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons salted butter (or unsalted with a pinch of salt)
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• 2 tablespoons water (for brushing)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

For the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce:

• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peach Filling:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken as it cooks.
• Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and set the mixture aside to cool.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

• Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, positioning it so that one corner faces you (diamond shape).
• Brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
• Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold the sides inward over the filling, then roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges with a bit more water.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each roll for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
• Once fried, drain the egg rolls on a wire rack set over paper towels.

4. Prepare the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, milk, and a pinch of salt.
• Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed until you reach a smooth, dip-able sauce.

5. Serve:

• If desired, dust the peach egg rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
• Serve warm with the Vanilla Bean Dipping Sauce on the side.

Tips:

• Fresh or Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
• Alternative Filling Ideas: Try swapping the peaches for apples, pears, or berries for a different flavor profile.
• Baking Option: For a lighter version, bake the assembled egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
