Quick and Easy Peach Pie Egg Rolls with Raspberry Sauce

"I had to make a dessert really quickly because we had some friends over for dinner. Unfortunately I lent out my car and was unable to make it to the grocery store. All I had was a can of peach pie filling, some raspberry jam, cream cheese, egg roll wrappers, and some vanilla ice cream in the freezer."

This recipe’s ingredient list has no crust or pastry, so it bakes more like a fruit dish than a pastry pie.

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Stir the cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice and pinch of salt into the peach pie filling.

  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then fold in about half of the spiced peach filling.

  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner toward you, spoon in a little filling, brush the edges with water, fold the sides in and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with all 12 wrappers.

  4. Heat the canola oil in a deep, heavy pot to 350°F (177°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.

  5. While the egg rolls fry, warm the raspberry jam, honey and a splash of water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth and pourable.

  6. Dust the hot egg rolls with confectioners' sugar. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream, the warm raspberry sauce, and the remaining spiced peach filling spooned on the side.
