Making Air Fried Apple Pie Egg Rolls
Making apple pie egg rolls is easy by following these steps.
First, you’ll want to use two (2) egg roll wrappers per apple pie dessert. This will ensure a more robust and extra-crispy outer layer!
Add a heaping spoonful of canned apple pie filling directly to the inside of the unrolled egg-roll wrappers.
Wrap the egg roll wrapper and spray the outside of it with cooking spray.
Evenly space the rolls on an air frier tray and air fry until golden brown and crispy.
Brush with melted butter and then coat in cinnamon sugar.
Enjoy warm!
