Everyone loves apple season. Today, I made these special treats for my kids, and they loved them. They are so easy to make, the fresh apple pie filling is wrapped within a flaky, and butter pie crust. These are truly the easiest and tastiest Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies you will ever make, a great alternative to Air Fryer Apple Pie.
Now, if you have not made hand pies, let me tell you they are truly one of the greatest desserts you can make, I mean who doesn’t like their own pie?
These also make a great back to school lunch box snack, and if yuou just went apple picking, this is a great and tasty waqy to use up those apples.
Ingredients for Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies:
With only a few ingredients you can make these within minutse. Here are the items I used:
Pie Dough: While I used prepared dough, from Pillsbury, which is found in the refrigerator section, feel free to switch it out for your fresh dough.
Apples: I used my children’s haul from apple picking, which included gala apples, but you can use anything that you have on hand.
Sugar: I added a few tablespoons of granulated sugar.
All-Purpose Flour: This helps thicken up the pie filling.
Ground Cinnamon: You can not have apple pie, without ground cinnamon.
Beaten Egg & Heavy Cream: This creates a great egg wash, which helps crisps up the pie filling dough
Sparkling Sugar: This is one of my favorite things I have found this year, it really does a great job, transferring regular pie dough into a pastry dough.
How To Make Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies
Start by peeling the apples.
Then dice the apples into bite-size pieces. As you cut them, add them to a small mixing bowl.
Make the pie filling, in the bowl, add the diced apples, flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract.
Mix well, coating all of the apples, set the pie filling aside, while you work on the dough.
Using your biscuit cutter, cut out the circles from your dough. Repeat, until you have cut all of the circles out.
Add a couple of tablespoons of pie filling to the center of the dough. Then add a circle of dough on top.
Use your fork, and go around the edges, and press the tines into the edges, which will help seal the pastry.
In a small mixing bowl mix together the egg and heavy cream, mix well. Then use a pastry brush and brush the egg wash on top, top with a sprinkle of sparkling sugar.
Set the hand pies into the air fryer, and set the temperature to 330 degrees F, for 4-6 minutes.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
