- 1 ½ cups peeled and diced peaches: Choose fresh or canned (well drained) peaches for juicy sweetness and vibrant fruit flavor.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar: Adds a deep caramel note that complements the peaches beautifully.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Brings warm spice and depth typical of a classic cobbler.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the natural peach flavor with aromatic sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch: Helps thicken the peach filling so it’s perfectly syrupy and not runny.
- 8 egg roll wrappers: Provide the crisp and flaky shell that makes this dessert so fun and crunchy.
- Oil for frying: Vegetable or canola oil works best for that golden, crispy finish.

How to Make Crispy Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls – A Fun Twist Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
Start by gently cooking the peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a syrupy, irresistible filling. Let it cool to make it easier to handle during assembly.
Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese Filling (Optional)
If you want to take your egg rolls up a notch, combine softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and creamy; this will add a tangy, rich contrast to the sweet peach filling that’s pure magic.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper down with a corner pointed at you. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach mixture into the center. If using, add a dollop of cream cheese filling on top. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the edge securely. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4: Fry Until Golden and Crispy
Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown and become wonderfully crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Garnishes
Sprinkle your egg rolls with powdered sugar for a pretty, delicate finish that adds a touch of sweetness and looks irresistible on the plate.
Side Dishes
These egg rolls pair beautifully with cool, creamy vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce as a decadent scoop on the side. The hot, crispy exterior and cold, rich accompaniments create an amazing contrast that elevates the whole experience.
Creative Ways to Present
Try slicing each egg roll diagonally and arranging them in a fan shape on a dessert platter. Add fresh peach slices or mint leaves for pops of color and freshness. For a party, serve individual bites with small ramekins of dipping sauces like honey or spiced cream cheese for extra fun.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have leftovers, place them in an airtight container after they cool to room temperature. Stored properly, they keep their flavor well for up to 2 days, although the crispiness is best enjoyed fresh.
Freezing
You can freeze the egg rolls before frying. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until firm, then transfer to a zip-top bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, fry them straight from frozen, just add a minute or two to the frying time.
Reheating
Reheat leftover egg rolls in a toaster oven or air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy texture without drying out the filling, avoiding the sogginess microwaving can cause.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh for the Crispy Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls – A Fun Twist Recipe?
Absolutely! Just be sure to drain the canned peaches well to avoid excess liquid, which can make the egg rolls soggy. Both work well to give you that sweet, fruity filling.
Is it necessary to use cream cheese in this recipe?
No, the cream cheese filling is completely optional. It adds a nice creamy layer and tang, but the egg rolls are delicious with just the peach cobbler filling too.
Can I bake or air fry these egg rolls instead of deep frying?
Yes! You can air fry at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. They come out crunchy and delicious with less oil, making it a lighter option.
What if I don’t have cinnamon?
Cinnamon is a key spice for that classic peach cobbler flavor, but if you’re out, you can substitute with a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for a slightly different spice profile.
How should I serve Crispy Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls – A Fun Twist Recipe for a party?
Serve them warm with small bowls of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for dipping. You can even present them on a beautiful platter garnished with fresh mint and powdered sugar for a crowd-pleasing dessert display.
