How To Make Air Fryer Blackberry Hand Pies
Rinse the blackberries and place them on a paper towel-covered plate for an hour. (This will help dry out the berries) When they are dry, cut the berries in half before placing them in a bowl, fold in the sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and flour, mix well to coat the blackberries.
Add the blackberry mixture to a saucepan, and over medium-high heat, simmer until the blackberry mixture is thickened. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the blackberries until smooth.
Roll out your dough. Using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut the circles out (about 3 to 4 inches), and then add about two tablespoons of pie filling to the center of the dough.
Using a fork, seal the edges. Then using a pastry brush, brush with the egg wash.
Spray your basket with cooking spray, and then set your Blackberry Hand Pies into the air fryer basket. Set the temperate to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the pies are cooking, make the icing in a small bowl: Add the powdered sugar and milk to a small bowl and mix well. Then drizzle over the blackberry hand pies right before serving.
How Does An Air Fryer Work?
An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that you can use to replace traditional frying in the home. Air frying uses hot air to cook food instead of oil, which reduces fat and calories. Here are some tips on how an air fryer works!
Air Fryers use rapid, continuous motion with heated coils to circulate hot air around the food, cooking quickly without oil or fats. Air Fryers generally have a small capacity for cooking but can still cook large batches of fries or other favorites in just minutes.
Can I bake hand pies in the oven?
Hand pies are a delicious snack to make for friends and family. They’re also easy to make! But can you bake them in the oven?
Remember the rule of thumb. Generally, anything you make in the Air Fryer can make in the oven and vice versa.
Make them as directed in the recipe, and then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F, and cook until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Recipe Variations
Use Any Air Fryer: This recipe will work in several Air Fryers, including the Ninja Foodi, instant pot Vortex, Instant Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid. The cooking time will change based on your air fryer, so make sure that you check on the Air Fryer Blackberry Hand Pies as you cook them up!
Fresh or Frozen Blackberries? You can use either. If you use frozen blackberries, make sure they are thawed and blotted for extra liquid. Otherwise, you will end up with a mushy hand pie.
Canned Pie Filing? Yes, you can use canned blackberry pie filling! The recipe will work the same.
