Air Fryer Hand Pies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (14.1-ounce/399g) package refrigerated pie crust or homemade
• 1½ cups apple pie filling ((400g), from 1 (21-ounce/595g) can or homemade)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Steps

1. 1

   Unroll the pie crusts from the package (or roll 2 homemade pie crusts to be ⅛-inch thick.)

2. 2

   Use a 4½ to 5-inch-diameter round cutter to cut 4 circles from each of the crusts (8 total).

3. 3

   Place 4 to 5 slices of apple and some of the juices from the pie filling (about 1½ tablespoons) on one-half of each pie dough circle, leaving a ½-inch border.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water.

5. 5

   Brush the edges of each circle with the egg wash. Fold the empty halves of the dough over the pie filling to create 8 half circles. Crimp the edges with a fork, if you like. Brush the outside of each with the egg wash.

6. 6

   With a paring knife, cut 3, ½-inch slits in the top of each hand pie. Sprinkle all over with the coarse sugar.

7. 7

   Place 2 to 4 pies in the basket of an air fryer (depending on the size of your air fryer). Air fry at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining hand pies. Serve them warm.
