How to Make Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Glaze Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
Start by tossing the diced peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. This combination not only sweetens the fruit but thickens the mixture so it won’t make the egg rolls soggy when fried. Let it sit for a few minutes to meld those flavors—it’s where the magic starts!
Step 2: Create the Cheesecake Layer
Next, whip the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This luscious cheesecake filling adds a rich, velvety contrast to the fruity peach mixture, making each bite decadent yet balanced.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on your workspace. Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture near the bottom third of the wrapper, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the peach filling on top. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides tightly, and roll it up firmly. Seal the edge with the beaten egg to ensure it stays closed while frying. Trust me—taking your time here is worth every crunchy bite later.
Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls to Golden Perfection
Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry 2-3 egg rolls at a time for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are a beautiful golden brown and extra crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack to keep them from becoming greasy. That crisp exterior is what makes these egg rolls so addictive.
Step 5: Apply Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Drizzle the Glaze
While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon. This awesome cinnamon sugar coating clings to their crispy surface, adding a sweet and spicy finish. Then prepare a simple glaze by whisking powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze generously over the egg rolls for a pretty, irresistible shine and extra sweetness.
How to Serve Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Glaze Recipe
Garnishes
Serving Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Glaze Recipe is a delight on its own, but let’s elevate it with some fresh garnishes! A sprinkle of chopped toasted pecans or a dollop of whipped cream adds extra texture and richness. If you want a pop of freshness, a few mint leaves are perfect.
Side Dishes
Pair these cinnamon-sugary delights with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea to balance the sweetness. They also go wonderfully with a chilled glass of sparkling lemonade for a refreshing contrast.
Creative Ways to Present
You can serve these egg rolls on a long platter with the glaze drizzled artistically across and a few fresh peach slices on the side for that wow factor. For parties, place mini skewers through each one to make them easy finger foods that will disappear fast. Presentation matters and makes this dessert even more inviting!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, store the Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls with Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Glaze Recipe in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours to keep the crunch. For longer storage, pop them in the fridge but be aware they may lose a bit of their crispiness.
Freezing
You can freeze the assembled but un-fried egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to one month. When you’re ready, fry them straight from frozen—just add a minute or two to the frying time.
Reheating
To reheat, the best trick is to use a hot oven or air fryer at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to retain that delightful crunch.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Just make sure to drain canned peaches well before mixing with the other ingredients to prevent soggy egg rolls. Both fresh and canned peaches work beautifully in this recipe.
Is it necessary to use cream cheese in the filling?
While cream cheese adds that creamy cheesecake flavor that contrasts wonderfully with the fruit, you can try a sweetened mascarpone or even omit it if you prefer a pure peach filling. However, the cream cheese is what makes these egg rolls extra special.
What oil is best for frying?
Vegetable or canola oil is ideal for frying because they have high smoke points and neutral flavors. Avoid olive oil as it can burn quickly and impart unwanted flavors.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! For a lighter version, bake the assembled egg rolls at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through to crisp evenly. The exterior won’t be quite as golden and crispy as frying, but still delicious.
How do I prevent the egg rolls from bursting while frying?
Make sure not to overfill them and seal edges tightly with the beaten egg. Fry in hot oil at the right temperature to create a quick seal on the wrapper, locking the filling inside safely.

Ingredients
Peach Mixture
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the peach filling: Combine diced peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to coat evenly and set aside to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Create the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom third of the wrapper, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the peach filling on top. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edge with beaten egg to keep it closed during frying.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat vegetable or canola oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry 2-3 egg rolls at a time, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove them and drain on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Coat and glaze: While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to coat evenly. Then whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze generously over the coated egg rolls before serving.
Notes
- You can use canned peaches if fresh peaches are unavailable; just ensure they are well-drained to avoid soggy filling.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon in both the peach mixture and sugar coating to taste.
- For a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, add a little more milk.
- Be careful when frying; maintain oil temperature at 350°F to ensure crispiness without absorbing excess oil.
- Serve the egg rolls warm for the best flavor and texture.
