Air Fryer Apple Pies Using Biscuit Dough Recipes

AIR FRYER APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Combine apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a non-stick skillet. Cook over medium heat until apples have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Dissolve cornstarch in cold water. Stir into apple mixture and cook until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove apple pie filling from heat and set aside to cool while you prepare the crust.
• Unroll pie crust on a lightly floured surface and roll out slightly to smooth the surface of the dough. Cut the dough into rectangles small enough so that 2 can fit in your air fryer at one time. Repeat with remaining crust until you have 8 equal rectangles, re-rolling some of the scraps of dough if needed.
• Wet the outer edges of 4 rectangles with water and place some apple filling in the center about 1/2-inch from the edges. Roll out the remaining 4 rectangles so that they are slightly larger than the filled ones. Place these rectangles on top of the filling; crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut 4 small slits in the tops of the pies.
• Spray the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Brush the tops of 2 pies with grapeseed oil and transfer pies to the air fryer basket using a spatula.
• Insert basket and set the temperature to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove pies from the basket and repeat with the remaining 2 pies.
• Mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Brush glaze on warm pies and allow to dry. Serve pies warm or at room temperature.

AIR FRYER APPLE PIE BOMBS

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, mix the sugar and apple pie spice. Set aside.
• Remove the biscuits from the can and use your hand to peel and separate each into two layers. Using a rolling pin, roll each layer of biscuit into a 4-inch circle. (You will have 16 circles.)
• In a small bowl, combine the apple pie filling with cinnamon. Mix to combine.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling and cinnamon mixture into the center of each circle.
• Use your fingers to pull sides together and pinch to seal. Roll into balls.
• Spray the basket of an air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
• Working in batches, place the balls into an air fryer basket about 2 inches apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Air fry at 350°F for 8-9 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Carefully remove the balls from the air fryer, dipping each in melted butter.
• Roll each dipped apple pie bomb into the apple pie spice and sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining batches.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.

AIR FRYER FRIED APPLE PIES

Steps:

• To make filling, in a large sauté pan, melt butter. Add apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Sauté over medium heat until apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out biscuits into 7- to 8-inch-diameter circles. Place 2 or 3 tablespoons of the apple filling on each circle and brush edges with water. Fold half of each circle over filling to make a half-moon shape. Seal by pressing edges with tines of a fork.
• Working in batches of 2, spray pies on both sides with oil and place in air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Set air fryer temperature to 350 degrees, and air fry for 5 minutes. Flip pies, spray with oil, and air fry for 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining pies. Dust pies with powdered sugar.
• Cook's Note: For quick and easy pies, use one 21-ounce can apple pie filling instead of making your own.

AIR FRYER BISCUITS

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Add the flour to a large bowl and stir in the sugar. Use your hands to combine 6 tablespoons of the butter with the flour mixture until the texture is sandy with a few pebbles of butter. Stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until combined, then turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Press and shape the dough into a 5- to 6-inch round about 1 inch high. Flour a 2-inch biscuit cutter and cut the dough into 10 to 12 biscuits, reshaping when needed. Transfer the biscuits to a plate.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Pour the melted butter over each biscuit, making sure they are all coated. Add the biscuits to a 6-quart air fryer so they are all touching. Cook at 350 degrees F until the biscuits are crusty and golden brown, about 15 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• For the honey butter: While the biscuits cook, mix the butter, honey and salt in a small bowl. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
• Serve the biscuits immediately with the honey butter.
