How To Make Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

Start by rolling the dough out. Ensure that you dusted the flour on the surface. Use your biscuit cutters and make your circles. Choose a size that will allow you to put in a few tablespoons of filling.

Remove the excess dough from the counter, and set it aside (as you will roll that later to make more hand pies)

Use a spoon and scoop some filling in. The first one is the hardest, as you will need to experiment with how much filling to use, depending on your circle’s size.
I used 2 tablespoons per hand pie.

Use a fork ends and crimp the edges, all around making sure that the seal is tight. In a small bowl, mix the egg white and water, and beat until it’s well combined.

Place the hand pies into the Air Fryer, and use a pastry brush to brush the tops, which will give it a nice golden color. (you can add some sugar and cinnamon on top if you are not going to ice them)

Set the temperature for 350 F, air fryer setting, for 8 minutes, flip halfway during the cooking process.

As they cooked, remove them from the air fryer, let them cool.

What Is An Air Fryer?

All air fryers are built about the same. They are small countertop appliances that perfectly cook up the food by the heating element and a fan.

The hot air circulates the air fryer basket, causing it to crisp up without the need for any oil perfectly.

The best part about cooking pies in the Air Fryer, the pie crust will perfectly crisp up.

Can I Bake Hand Pies?

Yes, my mother was making these before I even heard of an air fryer. To bake them, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove when golden brown!
