how to store Apple Pie Egg Rolls

tips to make Apple Pie Egg Rolls
- Make sure not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting during frying.
- Seal the edges well with water to keep the filling inside while cooking.
- If you want a sweeter filling, you can add a little more brown sugar or use a sweeter apple variety.

FAQs
1. Can I bake the Apple Pie Egg Rolls instead of frying?
Yes! You can brush the egg rolls with a little oil and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
2. What type of apples work best?
Sweet apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji are great choices as they hold up well during cooking and have a nice balance of sweetness and tartness.
3. Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prepare the filling and assemble the egg rolls ahead of time. Keep them covered in the fridge and fry them just before you’re ready to serve.
