Simple, deep-fried banana dessert. I’m unsure of cooking time because I’ve never timed myself.
I use frozen lumpia wrappers I find at my local Asian store. P.S. This is great with ice cream.

Ingredients
oil for deep frying
¼ cup brown sugar, or as needed
6 large bananas, halved crosswise and then lengthwise
24 lumpia wrappers, defrosted
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
Directions
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each banana quarter in the brown sugar until coated. Wrap a lumpia wrapper around each coated banana, sealing the last edge to the roll using a spoon or your finger dipped in water. Repeat with the remaining bananas and wrappers.
Working in batches, fry lumpia in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked lumpia to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Some sugar may leak out the sides of the lumpia while cooling.
Cook’s Note
If your bananas are small, you may want to avoid cutting them crosswise and will probably need more of them.
You can use a beaten egg instead of water for sealing if you'd like.
