Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Party perfect. Portable, make-ahead friendly, and guaranteed to disappear in minutes.
  • Handheld peach cobbler. All the warm, cozy flavors of homemade peach cobbler, wrapped up and ready to eat.
  • Crispy outside, gooey center. Fried to golden perfection and rolled in cinnamon sugar for that churro-meets-cobbler vibe.
  • Air Fryer or Deep Fryer. Deep fry for maximum crunch or use the air fryer for a lighter, faster take.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Tested and loved. I've made these many times for family gatherings and brunches. The filling is thick and rich, so the wrappers stay intact.
  • Texture balance. Cornstarch keeps the peaches gooey but not runny, while the cinnamon-sugar coating adds bakery-style crispness.
  • Step-by-step guidance. You'll find simple folding instructions and success tips so there's no guesswork.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

(Exact measurements are in the printable recipe card.)

  • Peaches: Frozen (thawed) peaches work beautifully. Fresh or well-drained canned peaches are also great.
  • Brown sugar + granulated sugar: The mix gives perfect caramel sweetness.
  • Cornstarch: Thickens the filling so it stays inside the wrapper.
  • Lemon juice: Adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
  • Cinnamon + nutmeg: Warm spice combo that makes these irresistible.
  • Salt: Just a pinch enhances flavor.
  • Vanilla bean paste: Adds depth; substitute 1 tsp vanilla extract if needed.
  • Butter: Use unsalted; if salted, omit the added salt.
  • Egg roll wrappers: Keep covered with a damp towel so they don't dry out.
  • Oil for frying: Peanut or canola oil for high-heat frying.
  • Cinnamon sugar: That final sweet crunch that seals the deal.

Equipment

  • Heavy pot or Dutch oven or air fryer
  • Thermometer (to monitor oil temperature - crucial for a non-greasy roll!)
  • Mixing bowls, tongs, pastry brush
  • Wire rack and baking sheet for draining
  • Paper towels

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Filling

  1. Gather your ingredients.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine peaches, brown sugar, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, vanilla bean paste, and nutmeg.
  3. Once all ingredients have been mixed, add in the butter.
  4. Mix until incorporated. Set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl add cinnamon.
  6. Then add sugar and stir.

Preheat the oil:

  1. In a large stockpot over medium heat, preheat 3" of oil to 375°.

Wrap the Egg Rolls

  1. Place the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface with one of the corners facing you.
  2. Spoon about 1 1⁄2 – 2 Tbsp of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling.
  4. Next, fold the two outward corners into the center, like an envelope.
  5. Brush the remaining corner with water and roll the egg roll up to seal.
  6. Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While warm, roll each egg roll in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated. Serve immediately.

Air Fryer Option

Preheat to 400°F and air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
Pro Tip: Use the air fryer to reheat leftovers! 350°F for about 1 minute brings back that fresh-fried crunch.

Expert Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

  • Keep filling thick. Drain canned peaches well so the wrappers don't split.
  • Mind the oil temp. 375°F is the sweet spot for golden, non-greasy rolls.
  • Fry in batches. Crowding lowers the temperature and makes them soggy.
  • Make ahead. Mix the filling up to 24 hours before and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Stay crispy. Keep cooked rolls on a wire rack in a low oven while you finish the batch.

Variations

  • Air Fryer Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls: Use the air fryer method above for a lighter version.
  • Vanilla Glaze: Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp milk, and ½ tsp vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls.
  • Try other fruits: Swap in apple, blueberry, or cherry for fun seasonal twists.

What to Serve With Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls

Pair these warm, crispy dessert egg rolls with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, or a hot cup of coffee. They're great for brunch spreads, summer cookouts, and holiday dessert tables.

How to Store & Reheat

  • Refrigerate: Up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • Freeze: Cool completely, then freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Air fryer at 350°F for 1 minute for best crunch; oven 350°F for 4 minutes; microwave 1 minute for soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What do Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls taste like?

They're crispy and cinnamon-sugary on the outside with a warm, sweet, gooey peach center that tastes just like Southern peach cobbler in a handheld form.

What's the best oil for frying Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls?

Peanut oil is ideal for flavor and high smoke point, but canola or corn oil also work great.

Why are my egg rolls greasy?

Your oil temperature was likely too low. Keep it around 375°F for crisp, non-greasy results.

Can I make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls ahead of time?

Yes! Make the peach filling up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the fridge. You can also assemble uncooked rolls, wrap them individually in foil, and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 6 months before frying.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes. Brush lightly with oil and bake at 400°F until golden. They won't be quite as crispy as fried versions, but still delicious.

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 2 1/2 cups frozen peaches (thawed and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 Tablespoons butter

Wrappers:

  • 15 egg roll wrappers
  • Water for brushing
  • Oil for frying

Rolling:

Instructions 

Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine peaches, brown sugar, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, vanilla bean paste and nutmeg. Once all ingredients have been mixed, add in the butter and mix until incorporated. Set aside.

Wrapping:

  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, preheat 3" of oil to 375°. Place the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface with one of the corners facing you. Spoon about 1 1⁄2 – 2 Tbsp of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Next, fold the two outward corners into the center, like an envelope. Brush the remaining corner with water and roll the egg roll up to seal.
  • Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Frying:

  • Once all wrappers have been rolled, carefully place 3 of them into the preheated oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • Once fried, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the frying process with the remaining rolls.

Air Frying Instructions: (Alternative to Deep Frying)

  • To air fry, set the temperature on your air fryer for 400 degrees F, and the time to 10 minutes. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer leaving space in between so they are not crowded. Flip or turn the egg rolls halfway through so all sides get crispy.

Coating:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Once the egg rolls have been fried and while they are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar until coated well. Serve warm.

Notes

Recipe Tips

  • Make Ahead. The filling for these egg rolls can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.  
  • Drain Peaches. If you’ve used canned peaches to make these peach cobbler egg rolls, drain them well; otherwise, the filling will be too runny. 
  • Don’t Overfill. Ensure you don’t add too much peach cobbler filling when assembling the egg rolls; otherwise, they could split open while frying. 
  • Don’t Overcrowd. It would be best if you didn’t overcrowd the egg rolls in the pan while frying, which is why I only fry three at a time. If you do, they won’t crisp up as they should. 
  • Excess Oil. Allow any excess oil from the freshly fried peach cobbler egg rolls to be absorbed by placing them on a baking sheet or plate lined with paper towels. You could also put them on a wire rack on top of a tray to catch oil drippings.  
  • Keep Warm. While frying these egg rolls in batches, an excellent way to keep those already fried crispy is by adding them to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet in the oven on low heat. This will keep the fried egg rolls warm and crispy while you finish frying the remaining egg rolls. 
  • Reheating. These peach cobbler egg rolls may be reheated the day after for 1 minute in the air fryer at 350F, in the oven for about 4 minutes at 350F, or in the microwave for 1 minute. Out of all three options, the air fryer usually adds a nice amount of crispiness to the egg rolls. 
  • Storage. Store egg rolls in an airtight container or baggie in the fridge for up to 2 days.
