Air Fryer Fruit Pies Recipes

AIR FRYER HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out pie crusts to 13-14 inch circles. Use a 3½ to 4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 6 to 7 rounds out of each one (see note). Re-roll scraps to to make 1-2 more rounds.
• Top half of the rounds with a tablespoon of pie filling, if using a pie filling with big pieces such as apple or peach, you'll want to chop it up a bit first.
• Lightly moisten the edges of the filled pie crusts with water (use your fingertip dipped in water). Place the remaining pie rounds on top of the filled ones and use a fork to press the edges together to seal.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the pies with egg wash; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Cook pies for 6 to 7 minutes until the tops are a golden brown.

EASY AIR FRYER APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Place 1 pie crust onto a lightly floured surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Using a 2-1/4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter cut the pie crust into 10 circles. Repeat with the second pie crust for a total of 20 pie crust circles.
• Fill about 1/2 of each circle with apple pie filling. Place a second pie crust circle on top, making a mini pie. Do not overfill. Press down the edges of the mini pies, crimping with a fork to seal. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
• Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place a batch of the mini pies in the air fryer basket, leaving space around each for air circulation.
• Bake until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the basket and bake remaining pies. Serve warm 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.

MINI AIR FRYER CHERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Roll out each circle of pie dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles into the dough using a 3-inch round cookie cutter to make 16 circles (8 from each dough round).
• Moisten the edge of a circle with water, then add 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling in the center. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to secure them further. Add a slit in the top of the crust with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.
• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray the air fryer bucket with cooking spray. Place pies in the basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Spray the tops of the pies with more cooking spray, and sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
• Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, about 9 minutes.
