Instructions

Prepare Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and brush the edges lightly with melted butter. This helps seal the rolls during frying.
Fill Egg Rolls: Spoon a generous amount of no-bake cheesecake filling onto the center of each wrapper, followed by a spoonful of cherry pie filling. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the fillings completely. For extra security, double wrap each egg roll with an additional wrapper.
Heat Oil for Frying: In a large skillet, heat 1 ½ cups of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering and hot enough to fry.
Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place egg rolls in the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch until the wrappers are crisp and golden brown on all sides, typically about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Coat: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels briefly. While still warm, immediately toss each egg roll in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Serve: Arrange the coated egg rolls on a serving plate and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Serve hot for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

Double wrapping the egg rolls helps prevent filling leakage while frying.
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at around 350°F to ensure even frying.
Serve immediately after frying for the best crispy texture.
These egg rolls can be baked instead of fried for a lighter version but expect less crispiness.
