Directions:
Apple Filling:
Peel
the apples and diced small. In a pan add apples, butter,
salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then add brown sugar and cook
on medium low for 4-5 minutes until the apples are tender, but not
mushy. Cool apple mixture before proceeding.Caramel Sauce:
Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat, cool slightly and pour the sauce into a jar. Refrigerate until cold.
Egg Rolls:
Add about 2 Tbs of filling in the center of egg roll. Fold bottom corner over and sides in.
Roll tightly and seal the edge with water. Have all egg rolls done before frying. Do not lay on top of each other so they don't stick together.
