Delicious and easy-to-make Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies filled with spiced apples, perfect for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For Filling:
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • For Pastry & Finish:
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 sheets), thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Powdered sugar or glaze, optional, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Combine diced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until apples are softened and the mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  2. Unroll both sheets of pie crust. Using a 4 to 5 inch round cutter or a glass, cut out 8 equal rounds. Gather scraps and re-roll if needed to achieve the full amount.
  3. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple filling in the center of 4 pastry rounds. Cover each with a second round, press edges firmly with a fork to seal all sides.
  4. Whisk the egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each sealed hand pie with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange hand pies in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches as necessary. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp.
  7. Allow hand pies to cool slightly before serving. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with prepared glaze.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust spices according to your preferences.
  • Make sure to let the filling cool completely before filling the pastry.
  • These hand pies can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
