### Instructions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Peach Filling:**
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Stir the mixture together until the cornstarch is evenly distributed. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency. Once the filling has thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice (if using). Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
#### 2. **Assemble the Egg Rolls:**
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond). Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as the egg rolls may tear when rolling. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the sides in towards the center. Roll the wrapper tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edges with a little water or egg wash (a beaten egg with a splash of water).
#### 3. **Fry the Egg Rolls:**
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat (about 350°F or 175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the egg rolls for even frying. Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry them until golden brown and crispy—about 3-4 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Once done, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
#### 4. **Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:**
While the egg rolls are still warm, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll each egg roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. This adds an extra layer of sweetness and flavor, giving them that irresistible peach cobbler vibe.
#### 5. **Serve and Enjoy:**
Serve the Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls while they’re warm and crispy. You can enjoy them on their own, or for an extra indulgent treat, serve them with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
### Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler Egg Rolls
– **Use Fresh or Canned Peaches:** Fresh peaches work wonderfully in this recipe, but if they’re out of season or you don’t have any on hand, canned peaches in syrup will work just as well. Just be sure to drain and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
– **Customize the Filling:** If you want to get creative with the filling, feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg, a dash of vanilla extract, or even a few tablespoons of butter to make the filling richer.
– **Try Air Frying:** If you prefer a healthier version, you can air fry the egg rolls instead of deep-frying. Brush them lightly with oil, place them in the air fryer basket, and cook at 375°F for about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
– **Make Ahead:** You can prepare the filling and assemble the egg rolls ahead of time, then refrigerate them until you’re ready to fry. This makes the process much quicker if you’re entertaining or prepping for a party.
– **Serve with Dips:** While whipped cream and ice cream are classic accompaniments, you can also serve these egg rolls with a side of caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or even a scoop of yogurt for a twist.
