Filling:
1 lb ground pork
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion
1/4 cup shredded apple*
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
*the tarter the better, I used pink lady, I used about 1/4 of the apple, dunked it in lemon water to prevent browning then shredded it, dunk the rest of the apple and reserve for later
Eggroll wrappers
Extras:amounts to taste, just don't overwhelm the main filling
Sharp or Extra Sharp Cheddar, shredded (white cheddar would be great too!)
Caramelized Onions
Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Reserved Apples, chopped small
Combine all filling ingredients and mix with hands until everything is just incorporated, don't over mix.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes to blend the flavors
In the meantime, cook your bacon and caramelize your onions , set aside until you are ready to assemble.
Remove filling from the fridge and heat a skillet over medium high head, throw about 1 TB oil in there, (olive or avocado is the best ) and allow to heat.
Put mixture into hot pan and crumble like you would taco meat, cook through, stirring as needed, but try not to overwork it into tiny crumbles.
Drain, allow mixture to cool, then chill for 30 minutes( or longer until you are ready to assemble!)
When it is time to assemble I prefer to just stir the cheese directly into the mixture (you want the filling chilled enough to not melt it immediately), along with the apples and bacon.
Place one eggroll wrapper and add about 2 TB filling. Top with caramelized onions (and other extras if you didn't mix the others directly in to the filling)
With damp fingers, trace some water around the edges of the wrapper and roll up starting from the bottom corner.
Fold in the middle corners, then continue rolling , firmly but not over tight.
Repeat with all fillings, toppings and wrappers
Place about 1/2 inch apart and brush with olive or avocado oil. Airfry at 360 for 12-15 minutes turning once.
Cool for 3 minutes and enjoy
