- Heat 1 inch of oil in a large heavy duty sauce pan to 350 F.
- Add half of the egg rolls at a time, cooking until the wrappers are golden brown. Flip half way through to cook both sides evenly. Cook for about 5-6 minutes total.

- Sprinkle warm egg rolls with cinnamon sugar mixture or powdered sugar.

Notes
- Check the oil temperature for best results. You want the oil to be 350 F for a nice crispy exterior while allowing the interior to cook completely, and not letting the outside burn.
- Cook in Batches: Don’t overcrowd the skillet or air fryer, as this can lead to uneven cooking.
- Add Some Texture: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or a sprinkle of raisins can be added to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
