Nothing goes together like a nice warm slice of apple pie and a savory egg roll. Wait, what?
Today we have a real east-meets-west dessert that’s sure to knock your socks off. I took an all-American classic, apple pie, and shoved it into crispy egg roll wrappers.
This recipe comes together in 10 minutes and will cure your apple pie cravings stat. Make these delicious treats with your apple picking bounty. If you don’t get them directly from the tree, stop by Heinen’s and grab a bag of their locally grown apples while they’re in season! My family devours these at record speed and it’s great to buy apples that help benefit small family farms. Any tart apple will do, but honeycrisp is my favorite for this recipe.
The secret to these egg rolls is the caramel cream cheese spread! Cream cheese, caramel and cinnamon are the trifecta of ingredients needed to truly create a restaurant quality dessert! When melted, they create a sweet and creamy molten center that perfectly complements the diced apples. To wrap this recipe up (literally), serve it with caramel dipping sauce on the side. Drooling yet!? Don’t be afraid to try this recipe with different fruit fillings, too! Fresh strawberries and Heinen’s strawberry cream cheese would be a heavenly combination in the spring and summer!
Let’s roll!
