Easy Apple Pie Pizookie Recipe
This is a recipe that has been in my family for years. We originally made it in the oven, but I knew it would be perfect for this recipe when I got an air fryer! The Air Fryer Apple Pie Pizookie is easy to make with your kids and can be served warm or cold. You don’t need any fancy ingredients, either.
What Is An Apple Pie Pizookie?
An Apple Pie Pizookie is a delightful dessert that combines the warm, comforting flavors of a classic apple pie with the gooey, soft-baked texture of a deep-dish cookie, known as a “pizookie.” This innovative dessert typically features a layer of cookie dough, often spiced with flavors reminiscent of apple pie, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, baked in a skillet or deep dish until it’s just set and still soft in the center. It’s then topped with a generous serving of warm, cinnamon-spiced apple pie filling and often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top. The result is a heavenly fusion of two beloved desserts, offering the best of both worlds: the crusty edge and soft center of a giant cookie coupled with the sweet, tangy bite of apple pie. Perfect for sharing, an Apple Pie Pizookie is a go-to for anyone looking to impress guests or indulge in a unique and satisfying dessert experience.

How To Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Pizookie
Creating an Air Fryer Apple Pie Pizookie combines the warmth of apple pie with the comforting chew of a giant cookie; all made simple with the convenience of an air fryer. Follow this straightforward guide to whip up a dessert that’s sure to impress:
Make the Cookie Dough: Beat the butter, granulated, and brown sugar in a medium-sized bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue beating until incorporated.
With the help of a wooden spoon, mix in the flour until you have a thick and creamy dough. Add the apple pie filling and fold it into the dough.
Assemble the Pizookie: Divide the dough into two pieces. Line the air fryer basket with either parchment paper or a reusable silicone liner.
Air Fry: Transfer one of the cookie dough pieces to the air fryer basket and, with the help of your hands, roughly shape it into a large cookie. With a toothpick, swirl in the caramel sauce, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, or until golden brown.
