## How to Make Apple Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
### Ingredients:
– 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
– 1 tbsp lemon juice
– 2 tbsp sugar
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 12 egg roll wrappers
– Cooking oil for frying
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
### Directions:
1. Prepare the Filling: Combine the diced apples, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Ensure the apples are well coated. In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon each of the cream cheese mixture and apple mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Start folding from the bottom corner over the filling, folding the sides in, and rolling tightly. Seal the tip with a dab of water.
3. Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy – about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain the fried rolls on paper towels.
## How to Serve Apple Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
Serve these delicious treats warm and dusted with powdered sugar for a hint of extra sweetness. You can also pair it with a side of caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent experience. Don’t forget a cup of hot coffee or tea for the perfect finish!
## How to Store Apple Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, reheat in an oven or over medium heat in a skillet to regain the crispiness.
## Tips to Make Apple Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
– Choose apples that are crisp and slightly tart for a better contrast of flavor.
– Make sure to seal the edges of the egg rolls well to prevent the filling from leaking out while frying.

## Variations
For a fun twist, try adding finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the apple filling for an added crunch. Alternatively, mix in some caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture to give your egg rolls a caramel apple spin!
