Vietnamese Spring Rolls are one of my absolute favorite dishes. So, when I found the Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls, I was so excited with the combination of American and Asian cuisines. The idea of transforming a classic American dessert into a handheld treat with a crispy exterior is amazing.

Variations
1. Deep-fried method
Besides the baking method, you can make these fruity egg rolls by frying them:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add egg rolls to the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
2. Air fryer method
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray.
- Place the prepared egg rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

3. Savory Counterparts
Savory elements can balance the sweetness of peach cobbler egg rolls. I recommend:

Troubleshooting common issues
1. Filling Leakage During Frying
To prevent leaks:
- Avoid overfilling the wrapper
- Moisten the edges with water or egg wash for a better seal
- Double-wrap for extra protection if needed
- Maintain oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F
2. Achieving the Right Texture
The perfect texture requires attention to detail. To achieve a crispy exterior and a soft, gooey interior:
- Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature
- Drain on paper towels immediately after frying
- Serve promptly to preserve crispiness
4. Proper Storage and Reheating
For best results:
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes for optimal crispiness
- Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrapper soggy
