Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 10 egg roll wrappers
Cheese Mixture:
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter
Instructions
- Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until velvety and uniform in texture.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and center a generous dollop of cream cheese mixture.
- Carefully spoon cherry pie filling directly on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully fold the wrapper’s sides inward, creating a snug envelope around the filling.
- Tightly roll the wrapper, ensuring a secure seal to prevent filling leakage.
- Generously brush the exterior of the egg roll with melted butter for enhanced golden crispiness.
- Activate the air fryer and set the temperature to 350°F, allowing it to fully preheat.
- Gently arrange the prepared egg rolls in the air fryer basket, maintaining spacing between each roll.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, monitoring the color and ensuring a uniform golden-brown crunch.
- Remove from air fryer and let cool momentarily to prevent burning.
- Transfer to a serving plate and dust with optional powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Serve immediately while warm and crisp for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Wrapper Tearing by using room temperature cream cheese, which spreads more smoothly and reduces risk of splitting delicate egg roll wrappers.
- Control Sweetness by adjusting powdered sugar amount – start with less and taste, as cherry pie filling already adds significant sweetness.
- Customize Filling Options by experimenting with other fruit preserves like blueberry, raspberry, or mixed berry for varied flavor profiles.
- Enhance Crispiness by lightly spraying egg rolls with cooking spray before air frying, ensuring maximum golden-brown exterior without excess oil.
