Ingredients:
8 egg roll wrappers
1 cup cherry pie filling
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
Powdered sugar for dusting
1 tbsp melted butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake mixture.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edges with a dab of water to prevent unrolling.
Step 3: Air Fry the Egg Rolls
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Lightly brush the egg rolls with melted butter or spray with cooking spray.
Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Serve
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips for Perfect Egg Rolls
Ensure a Tight Seal: To avoid leakage, make sure the egg rolls are tightly sealed with water.

Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
