What Kind of Egg Roll Wrappers Should I Use?

For this recipe, traditional egg roll wrappers found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores work perfectly. They’re thicker than spring roll wrappers, which gives that crispy, golden-brown finish we’re aiming for when fried. Make sure they’re fresh and pliable—dry or cracked wrappers will tear easily and leak filling during frying. If you’re in a pinch, you could use wonton wrappers, but the size and texture won’t be quite the same.

Options for Substitutions

Whether you’re working with pantry limitations or simply want to tweak the flavor, here are some great swap ideas:

Peaches: Fresh, canned (drained), or frozen (thawed) all work great. You can even try apples, cherries, or mixed berries.
Cream Cheese: Substitute with mascarpone or even ricotta for a lighter, fluffier texture.
Sugar: Use coconut sugar, brown sugar, or a monk fruit blend for a lower glycemic version.
Egg Roll Wrappers: Swap with phyllo dough or even tortillas if you plan to bake them instead of fry.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Add nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the mix for a fall twist.

Ingredients for This Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls Recipe

Peaches
The heart of this recipe—ripe, juicy peaches bring that classic cobbler sweetness. You can use fresh, canned (drained), or frozen (thawed) peaches.

Cream Cheese
This adds a creamy, cheesecake-like richness inside the egg rolls. It balances the sweetness and melts beautifully during frying.

Granulated Sugar
Sweetens both the peach mixture and the cream cheese filling. It also helps caramelize the outer coating.

Brown Sugar
Brings a deeper, molasses-like sweetness that enhances the cobbler flavor.

Ground Cinnamon
A must-have for warmth and spice—paired with sugar, it gives that signature peach cobbler feel.

Vanilla Extract
Adds a subtle aromatic note that ties the filling together.

Egg Roll Wrappers
The crispy shell that holds all the magic inside. These fry up golden and give that satisfying crunch.

Butter (melted)
Used to brush the fried rolls before coating them in cinnamon sugar—it helps the coating stick and adds buttery flavor.

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
A final touch that adds sparkle, crunch, and extra sweetness after frying.

Powdered Sugar (optional)
A light dusting at the end enhances the presentation and gives a little extra sweetness.

Vanilla Glaze (optional but recommended)
A simple drizzle made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla that adds a bakery-style finish.

Step 1: Make the Peach Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped peaches, brown sugar, a bit of granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract. Let it simmer until the peaches are soft and the mixture thickens slightly—about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with a little sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will be your rich, tangy contrast to the sweet peaches.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay out an egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cooled peach filling on top. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and seal the edge with a dab of water.

Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the rolls in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

Step 5: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

As soon as the egg rolls come out of the oil, brush them with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while they’re still warm.

Step 6: Drizzle and Serve

If you’re using glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the rolls before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for extra flair.

How Long to Cook the Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

The actual cooking time is quick and easy—2 to 3 minutes per side in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) is all it takes for the wrappers to turn golden brown and perfectly crisp. If you’re baking instead of frying, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

Don’t forget: the peach filling should be cooked and cooled before wrapping, so factor in an extra 10–15 minutes for that step.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Seal the Edges Well: Use water or a cornstarch slurry to seal your egg roll edges tightly. This prevents leakage during frying.
Cool the Filling: Let the peach mixture cool fully before wrapping to avoid soggy wrappers.
Don’t Overstuff: It might be tempting, but too much filling makes them harder to seal and fry evenly.
Fry in Batches: Overcrowding the oil drops the temperature and leads to greasy, undercooked rolls.
Use a Wire Rack: Drain the fried egg rolls on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep them crispy.
Make the Glaze Ahead: Whisk your drizzle before frying so it’s ready to pour while the rolls are still warm.
Serve Warm: These are best when the outside is still crisp, and the inside is warm and gooey.

Watch Out for These Mistakes While Cooking

Skipping the Filling Cool-Down: Hot peach filling can cause the wrapper to tear or turn mushy before frying.
Using Too Much Oil Heat: If your oil is too hot, the egg rolls will brown too quickly and the inside might stay cold.
Frying Wet Rolls: Moisture on the outside can cause dangerous oil splatters. Pat the wrapped rolls dry before frying.
Loose Rolling: If you don’t roll them tightly, they can fall apart while cooking or absorb too much oil.
Ignoring Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer—guessing leads to under- or overcooked rolls.

What to Serve With Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls?

Vanilla Ice Cream

A scoop of cold, creamy vanilla ice cream melting over a warm egg roll is dessert perfection.

Caramel Dipping Sauce

Thick, buttery caramel is a rich, dreamy match for the peachy filling.

Whipped Cream

Light and airy whipped cream gives a nice contrast to the crispy texture.

Fresh Berries

Add some color and a little tartness to balance the sweetness.

Mint Garnish

A sprig of fresh mint adds fragrance and a touch of sophistication.

Coffee or Espresso

The bitterness of coffee balances the sweetness beautifully, especially if you’re serving this after dinner.

Sparkling Wine or Moscato

If you’re going fancy, a sweet or semi-sweet wine is a lovely pairing.

Lemon Zest or Lemon Curd

For a zippy contrast, serve with a dollop of lemon curd or sprinkle some lemon zest on top.

Storage Instructions

Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they can definitely be stored for later:

Refrigerator: Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F to maintain crispiness.
Freezer: You can freeze them before or after frying. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Avoid microwaving—use the oven or air fryer to bring back that crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely. Just make sure to drain them well so the filling doesn’t become too watery. You can even reduce the added sugar slightly since canned peaches are often packed in syrup.

Can these be baked instead of fried?

Yes! Brush the egg rolls with melted butter or spray them with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 18–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Definitely. You can prep and wrap the egg rolls a day ahead and store them in the fridge. Fry or bake right before serving for the best texture.

What oil is best for frying egg rolls?

Use a neutral, high smoke-point oil like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.

Can I air-fry them?

Yes! Brush or spray them lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Why is my filling leaking out?

This usually happens when the egg roll isn’t sealed tightly. Be sure to moisten the edges of the wrapper and roll them firmly.

Can I skip the cream cheese?

You can, but it adds a creamy balance to the sweet filling. If you’re dairy-free, try using a plant-based cream cheese alternative.

What if I don’t have cinnamon?

No problem—try nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or cardamom for a unique twist on the flavor.
