Frequency Asked Questions
Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying them?
You can bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Can I use fresh cherries instead of canned pie filling?
Absolutely! You can use fresh pitted cherries tossed with a little sugar and cornstarch as a substitute for canned pie filling.
Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?
While they are best enjoyed fresh, you can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to fry.
Ingredients:
12 egg roll wrappers
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup cherry pie filling
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center and top with a few cherries from the pie filling.
Fold the wrappers: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the final edge with a bit of water to keep the roll closed.
Heat the oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the egg rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
