🥟 Air-Fried Crispy Apple Pie Egg Rolls 🍎

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the finely diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the apples begin to soften and release their aromatic juices. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1 more minute until the liquid thickens into a glossy, tight glaze. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat like a diamond. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the apple filling across the lower center. Fold the bottom corner tightly up over the filling, tuck in the left and right corners securely, and roll forward. Moisten the top edge with water to fuse the seam cleanly closed. Repeat for all 4 rolls.

Preheat your air fryer to 195°C (380°F). Arrange the egg rolls seam-side down in the basket. Spray all sides generously with cooking oil spray until the wrappers look completely damp. Air fry for 9–10 minutes, flipping them gently at the 5-minute mark, until the outer armor is deeply golden-brown and heavily blistered.

Transfer the crackling hot egg rolls to a clean plate. While they are still glistening with heat, immediately dust them heavily with your cinnamon-sugar mixture so it adheres to the crispy exterior shell. Serve warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for a true showstopper!
