Mini Deep Fried Caramel Apple Pie

I made this recipe up today and it is fabulous! I had to share right away. Before I start though, let me say this is more of what I did, not an exact recipe. But I don't think it really matters. It's really all in your taste preferences.

2-3 medium apples
cinnamon
brown sugar
Caramels (cut into small pieces)
Egg Roll Wrappers
Oil for deep frying

Heat oil to 350 degrees. Peel and thinly slice apples. If you have a vegetable steamer, steam for 10 mins. If not, cook in the microwave until soft. Combine with cinnamon and brown sugar to taste, enough to make a light syrup on the apples. Place approx. 1 Tbs of apple mixture in corner of egg roll wrapper. Add a few small pieces of caramel. Roll up and seal according to directions on Egg Roll Wrapper package. Deep fry 3 or 4 at a time for 2 minutes, then turn over and continue to fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from fryer and place on paper towels. Let cool several minutes as the filling will be extremely hot.

These are great on their own. But would be even better with a little vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream plus a little additional caramel sauce. In my opinion there is no such thing as too much caramel....
