Ingredient Guide

• 2 cups chopped peaches: The star of the show—choose firm, ripe peaches for the best texture. Fresh or thawed frozen both work.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar & 2 tablespoons brown sugar: Adds sweetness and depth. Brown sugar brings a subtle molasses note.
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon & 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg: Warm spices that evoke classic peach cobbler aromas.
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch: Thickens the peach filling to a luscious, not runny, consistency.
• 4 ounces cream cheese: Provides a tangy, creamy counterpoint to the sweet fruit filling.
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Sweetens and flavors the cream cheese layer beautifully.
• 12 egg roll wrappers: The crisp shell that encases all the luscious fillings. Look for square or round wrappers depending on what you find.
• Oil for frying: Neutral oils like canola or vegetable are best for a clean fry.
• 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar: For the warm, sweet coating after frying.
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar & 2 tablespoons milk: Mixed into a glossy glaze to drizzle atop the finished egg rolls.

Prep Before You Begin

Before you dive in, set your mise en place to keep things smooth and stress-free. Chop the peaches ahead of time, measure your sugars and spices, and have the cream cheese softened to room temperature. It’ll blend easier that way and give you the silky texture you want in the filling.

Heat your oil carefully to 350°F so you get that perfect golden crust without greasy, oily egg rolls. Having all ingredients ready before frying means you can keep the process moving quickly and avoid soggy wrappers.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Drizzle Recipe

1. Combine peaches and spices: In a medium saucepan, toss together the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens to a luxurious, spoonable consistency. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once thickened, transfer to a bowl and let it cool thoroughly. This step is critical—you want your filling thick so it doesn’t make the egg rolls soggy.
2. Prepare the cream cheese layer: While the peach filling cools, soften the cream cheese by warming it gently at room temperature. Mix it with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This sweetened cream cheese adds a velvety richness that contrasts the bright peach filling perfectly.

3. Assemble the egg rolls: Carefully lay out each egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture near the center, followed by a generous spoonful of cooled peach filling on top. Be sure not to overfill—leaving room at the edges makes folding easier and reduces leaking. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water. If you’re new to rolling egg rolls, think of it like tucking in a little package of cozy peaches and cream.
4. Fry to perfection: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (use a thermometer for accuracy). Fry the egg rolls in batches, flipping after 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crisp. Drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil. You’ll notice the subtle crackle and the warm aroma that fills your kitchen—it’s making you hungry already!
5. Cinnamon sugar coating: While still warm, roll each fried egg roll in cinnamon sugar. This creates a slightly crunchy, aromatic surface that perfectly complements the soft, fruity filling inside.
6. Glaze drizzle finish: Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth and runny enough to drizzle. Using a spoon or a squeeze bottle, elegantly drizzle the glaze over each egg roll before serving. The glossy drizzle adds a delicate sweetness and eye-catching shine that’ll make these treats disappear fast.

Creative Variations for Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Drizzle Recipe

• Swap peaches for fresh apples or pears and amp up the nutmeg for a fall-inspired twist.
• Stir in chopped pecans or toasted almonds into the filling for crunch and nutty warmth.
• Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the peach filling for grown-up sophistication.
• Use maple syrup instead of powdered sugar in the glaze for a deeper, earthy sweetness.
• Replace cream cheese with mascarpone or ricotta for a lighter, less tangy filling.
• Try baking the egg rolls at 400°F for 12-15 minutes for a lighter, less oily version.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container for 2-3 days to keep them crisp and fresh.
• Freeze: Place assembled, un-fried egg rolls on a parchment-lined sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. They keep up to 2 months frozen.
• Reheat: Reheat frozen egg rolls in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
• Prep ahead tip: You can prepare the fillings a day ahead to save time on the day you fry.

Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Drizzle Recipe FAQs

• Can I use canned peaches? Fresh or frozen peaches are best for texture and flavor, but well-drained canned peaches can work in a pinch—just reduce added sugar slightly.
• What if I don’t have a deep fryer? A deep heavy pot with a thermometer works perfectly for frying these egg rolls safely.
• Can I bake instead of fry? Yes! Brush egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for a crisp result.
• How do I prevent egg rolls from leaking? Don’t overfill, seal edges well with water, and make sure the filling isn’t too runny—thickened with cornstarch.
