Guest Post #2: Apple Pie Egg Rolls

Bonjour mes cheris, get excited for me! After I finish these exams I am wading through right now, half of year 12 will be forever finished and over with! YAY!

Mais non, focus, FOCUS! It certainly is not over yet no matter how much I dream about year 12 formal. Ah, c’est la vie!

Anyhow, while I am not here to give you recipes, tips, tricks and well, my blog, I have some pretty fan-friggin-tastic fabulous chefs lined up to do so instead! A whole range of dishes for you to enjoy while I am on this undesired break 😉 – You won’t even notice my absence I promise!

See you soon for the April holidays and wishing you all a marvelous Easter break! Promise me you will chow down on what that Easter Bunny brings you/your chocolate loot stashed in the bottom of your drawer – Yes, I am on to you all 😀

Cheers
Choc Chip Uru

Hi all you CCU fans out there!  My name is Ramona from Curry and Comfort and I am here today to help Urvashi (aka: Chip Uru) out while she off acing her exams.  I have been a fan of Chip Uru for a while now.  She never fails to amaze me with her sweet treats and fun writing.  I wish I was as clever and accomplished when I was a teenager (and that was a very, very long time ago).  After reading one of Urvashi’s posts and drooling over her confections, I always think that if my own daughter turned out to be such a well-rounded and mature young lady then I did something right raising her.  I am sure Urvashi’s parents are very happy with their little baking maven. 🙂

Now I’m not as accomplished with the sweet treats as my dear friend Chip Uru because my blog tends to focus on savory food… especially spicy curries.   But I had to come today with a sweet offering for you. So, I came up with these fun Apple Pie Egg Rolls.  They are so easy to make and if you eat them hot with some caramel sauce and powdered sugar… it could be life changing.  Well… maybe that was just me 🙂 So here’s my humble sweet recipe… hope you CCU fans out there enjoy it. 🙂

  4. Have all egg rolls done before frying.  Do not lay on top of each other so they don’t stick together.100_2731
  5. Fry each egg roll until golden brown. You want your oil at 350 degrees (180 degrees C). Drain on paper towels.

    Those dessert egg rolls look a-maz-ing. Great guest post.

    Best wishes on your second half of the year! Stay focused, my friend. (May daughter has three months – 95 days – left of her 12th grade and she can hardly contain herself…)

    I agree with what you said about Urvashi being a talented teenager, I was so surprised when I found out that she is still in high school! Urvashi – all the best with your exams.
    Ramona – clever trick to use egg roll wrappers as the pastry, saves having to make it from scratch and you can have these apple pie egg rolls ready in a pinch which is the way to go!

    Ramona, if you were a teenager many, many years ago, it surely doesn’t show. You look as vibrant as Uru! Thanks for your egg roll wrapping tips and a delicious dessert recipe, too.

    Uru, go get ’em! (Your studies, not the apple pie egg rolls… although if you were to choose the latter, I’d completely understand.) 😉

    Love this post! I agree, Ramona. Uru is like 16 or 17 going on 40 years old. She is so mature and incredibly gifted for someone so very young. Amazing to me. Go for it, Uru! The world is your oyster as they say!

    Romona these apple pie egg rolls have the ponytails names all over them. They definitely fall into the category of fun desserts! I also agree with you that CCU’s parents must be very proud of their baking maven. As a mom I have thought the same as you — I’d be delighted if one of my girls had a sparkling personality and the initiative to bake and share in such a clever way as CCU does. Nice to meet you Ramona — I will pop by your blog soon!

    Wow these look amazing! If it weren’t 35 degrees+ I would be whipping out my deep fryer and giving these a shot.

    On a side note, Good luck on your exams CCU! (I hope that you will post a photo of you formal dress for us all to Oooo-and-Ahhhh over!)
