If you love apple pie, then you will absolutely adore these Apple Pie Egg Rolls. They are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, combining the flavors of apple pie with the crispy goodness of egg rolls. Here’s how to make them:

• Water (for sealing the egg rolls)
• Oil (for frying)
• 1/2 cup regular sugar (for rolling)
• 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon (for rolling)

1. Peel and dice the Granny Smith apples into small pieces.
