Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

If you have not gotten around to making hand pies, let me tell you, they only look intimating. They are simple. Today’s simple recipe is for Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies.

If you are not familiar with the term of hand pie, it’s just a fancy way of saying mini or portable pie. My kids love these because they can take them with them as a road snack.  

Hand pies, as I discovered through Wikipedia, are just small pies. They are just filled pastries that have been encased with dough, Meaning they are individual pies, with the filling inside, which makes them perfect walking around food.

My kids are so going to love these in September when I put them into their lunch boxes.

Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

Ingredients:

Hand Pie Ingredients:

• Refrigerator Pie Dough
• Cherry Pie Filling

Egg Wash Ingredients:

• Egg
• Water

Icing Ingredients:

• Powdered Sugar
• Milk
• Vanilla Extract

Simple Directions:

1. Start by rolling the dough out. Ensure that you dusted flour on the surface; otherwise, you will end up with a sticky mess.
   
2. Use your biscuit cutter and make your circles. Choose a size that will allow you to put in a few tablespoons of filling.
   
3. Remove the excess dough from the counter, and set aside (as  you will roll that later to make more hand pies)
   
4. Use a spoon and scoop some filling in. The first one is the hardest, as you will need to experiment on how much filling to use, which will depend on your circle’s size.
   I used 2 tablespoons per hand pie.
   
5. Use a fork ends and crimp the edges, all around making sure that the seal is tight.
   
6. In a small bowl, mix the egg white and water, and beat until it’s well combined.
   
7. 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.
   
8. Set the temperature for 350 f, for 4 minutes, after 4 minutes check on the pies, flip, egg wash again and set the time and temperature for:
9. Another 350 degrees for 4 minutes.
   
10. As they cooked, remove them from the air fryer, let cool.
11. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the confectionary sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
12. Spread the glaze over the hand pies, let set
    
13. Plate, serve, and enjoy!
