Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the apples and lemon juice together in a bowl and toss to coat.

Step 3

Add Redpath® Granulated Sugar, followed by cornstarch, spices and salt, toss to coat.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This gives the flavours time to combine and allows the cornstarch to hydrate.

Step 5

Once the filling has been rested lay 1 egg roll wrapper onto a clean surface and brush edge with a 1 inch perimeter of egg wash.

Step 6

Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of the filling across one side of the prepared egg roll wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the sides over the filling. Carefully roll the filling tightly in the wrapper and press gently to seal the edge.

Step 8

Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment and coat with a thin layer of cooking spray. Repeat with the remaining filling until all the filling has been used.

Step 9

Bake egg rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Serve them while warm with a little caramel sauce or sweetened whipped cream. You could also allow them to cool and pack them as perfect portable treats for kids heading to school.
