Apple pie egg rolls with fresh apples are so easy to make with just 2 ingredients. You can coat the outside with cinnamon and sugar or enjoy as is for a handheld dessert. Just one of our sweet and simple air fryer recipes.
Apple egg rolls in air fryer are such a fun dessert. You can use any fruit filling you like but baked apples have a thick sauce that is perfect for Fall. Once you get the hang of these you can tweak it in a number of other ways to make other dessert egg rolls.
I have done this both ways. If it is summertime and we have been apple picking we may have a lot of fresh fruit to use up. You can use the stovetop as directed below or make Instant Pot apple pie filling faster. In the latter months like now they may not look as appetizing so I might use a can at the store.
Ninja Air Fryer Apple Egg Rolls
Tips: My Favorite models are the Cosori or making Ninja Foodi recipes with the lid that is attached.
It is best practice to put food into a hot basket. This is how to preheat air fryer first before adding your food so it becomes as crispy as possible. For best results, here’s a printable free air fryer cooking time chart here for your fridge.
Ingredient Notes
You will want to pick up a package of large egg roll wrappers in a package at the store. They are larger than the won ton size. You can also make homemade egg roll wrappers first if you like.
If you want to use fresh apples peeled and diced so you can make a batch of baked apples with brown sugar you would start with some Granny smith, or use store bought can of pie filling at the grocery store
You will want a few tbsp of butter or for dairy free use a vegan plant based product if using real fruit with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Apple Cheesecake Egg Rolls (option)
As is that is a great filling. If you wanted to make a sort of quick apple pie cheesecake egg rolls that is easy too. Just whip together a jar of marshmallow fluff + softened cream cheese. Seriously it is that easy to add that other bit of deliciousness. We did this with our cheesecake egg rolls.
Have a baking sheet ready if you want to serve them all at once. When done set on sheet and place in the oven just on warm, maybe 200 degrees for a bit. Then when you’re set they can go out on a brunch table with dips that are fun too like caramel sundae sauce to dip, whipped topping, or make our Philadelphia cheesecake dip.
What else can you add?
You could even add raisins and/or some dried cranberries inside too. Chopped nuts work well as another flavor if you want a bit of a chunky texture inside. Mini butterscotch chips maybe?
During the holidays it is really fun to make a dessert charcuterie board. It is nice to have a few savory options on there but something you can set out after the meal so there are lots of choices. These are a fun warm addition to the other cookies and chocolates on there.
How Long to Cook Apple Pie Egg Rolls in Air Fryer
Set into air fryer basket and spray the tops with oil cooking spray and cook at 380 degrees F for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool before enjoying them. You can set air fryer to 400 degrees and do closer to 4-6 too. One of our favorite recipes using egg roll wrappers.
These could easily be deep fried too. I am not a fan of cooking my food in oil because the flavor it wonky and it adds fat and calories. Even with ground beef air fryer egg rolls they turn out better this way with the same crunchy texture on the outside.
Serve with vanilla ice cream with everything drizzled with caramel sauce and OMG are these delish. If you do have leftovers you can save them in one layer in a sealed container. I would eat them within the next 24 hours or the texture will change. To crisp the outsides again just throw back into your AirWave or Foodi.
Air Fryer Apple Pie Egg Rolls Recipe
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 6 large egg roll wrappers
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced, or use pie filling
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- You can use pie filling for this and skip the next few steps. For homemade -Peel and dice apples. Heat a medium saucepan to medium heat and add butter and apples. Cook until butter is melted and the apples begin to soften about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in brown sugar and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Cook until mixture bubbles and starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove the apple pie mixture from the heat and store it in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
- Spoon the apple pie mixture into an egg roll wrapper, just enough to fill the middle. Using your fingers or a basting brush, add water to all of the edges of the wrapper. Start from the bottom corner and fold it into the middle, then fold the left corner into the middle, then the top corner into the middle, and finally the right corner.
- Spray the top of the egg rolls in the air fryer with oil cooking spray and cook at 380 degrees F for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool before enjoying them.

You should also try our cherry cheesecake dip recipe too. Just let the block soften on the countertop and then use a hand mixer to blend that with a small tub of marshmallow fluff. Use a bit less fruit filling to leave room for a dollop of this in the center. Make sure ends stick and seal well so it doesn’t seep out.
Love apple everything, and now this! So crispy! Everyone loved for our Halloween party!
Such a great idea. I am going to be honest. I hate to bake and so I avoid it at all costs. Using eggroll wrappers is brilliant! I used canned apple pie filling and these were a huge hit!
I actually just made these last week and thought they were delish! I love how crispy they came out.
These egg rolls were not only delicious but super fun to make too! The kids loved helping!
This was such a quick and easy dessert that does not disappoint! Exactly what I needed to cure my sweet tooth and the perfect dessert for fall, indeed!
It looked so good I had to try it. It was easy to do and turned out just as they would if I had thrown them in the oven.
