How To Make Air Fryer Cherry Dessert Pizza

Follow these steps to make a quick air fryer dessert pizza.

Oil your air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray. Mix the butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium bowl with a fork until combined and crumbled. Set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and milk until well mixed and of a thin icing consistency. Reserve for the last step.

Divide pizza dough in half and roll out on a lightly floured surface into two small rounds the size of your fryer basket and about ½ inch thick each.

Place the pizza crust dough into the air fryer basket. Spread half the cherry pie filling evenly across the pizza round. Sprinkle the brown sugar butter mixture over the cherry filling. Depending on your air fryer, set the air fryer to 320 degrees F for 8-12 minutes until the pizza crust is fully cooked.

Remove from the air fryer and repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining ingredients. Allow the dessert pizzas to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling with the prepared icing. Slice and serve!

Pro Tips

This recipe works in any air fryer, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex Plus, and other basket and oven models.
I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of your air fryer so you can lift it out. If you have trouble removing the pizza, use a spatula.
Make sure that the bottom is cooked before removing it. The time will depend on what type of air fryer you own.
Once the crust gets golden brown, please remove it from the Air Fryer; you don’t want it over crispy.
Please wait for the Air Fryer Cherry Dessert Pizza to cool slightly before drizzling it with the icing. Otherwise, it will melt off.

How Long Will Cherry Pizza Keep?

This Air Fryer Cherry Dessert Pizza will last 2 to 3 days when kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Place the leftover Cherry Dessert Pizza in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, then place it in the refrigerator.

Recipe Variations

I used a simple cherry pie filling, but you can change this to any canned pie filling. Some of my favorites are:

Lemon Pie Filing
Blueberry Pie Filing
Blackberry Pie Filling
Apple Pie Filling
