Air Fryer Apple Plum Tarts

The holidays are officially in full swing and that means one thing: pie. But not just any old pie, we’re talking about cinnamon apple crostata. This air fryer recipe is so easy to follow and the end result is unbelievably delicious. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those extra apples you have lying around. So what are you waiting for? Start cooking!

Air Fryer Apple Plum Tarts are so good! They are a simple take on a classic apple plum galette made with sliced apples and plums. They are the perfect summer dessert, and so easy to make, but of course, absolutely delicious! 

Since baking with my Air Fryer, I have really fallen in love with making and cooking galettes. Not only are they simple, but they also look wonderful, and they only take a few minutes to assemble.

The result is a crust that is perfectly crisp, and flaky and the fruit is perfectly roasted, and tender, and brings out all of the classic flavors of a pie, without the need to roll out dough.

And of course, with the air fryer, they bake up in about half the oven time. Who knew that baking could be this wonderful!

Now that fall is almost here, I also refer to it as my pie season! At the end of a long day, I love a great slice of pie with a hot cup of coffee—the perfect dessert to share with your family and friends.

If you love pie as much as my family does, some of my favorite Air Fryer Pie Recipes are AIR FRYER CARAMEL APPLE HAND PIES, AIR FRYER MINI CHERRY PIE, AIR FRYER LEMON PIE.

Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information

• Plums: Select ripe but firm plums, preferably red or black varieties, to add sweetness and juiciness to the tarts.
• Apples: Choose firm and tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a delicious contrast to the sweet plum filling.
• Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds a rich caramel flavor to the fruit filling and enhances its natural sweetness.
• Lemon Juice: A splash of lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the fruit and prevents browning.
• Ground Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon complements the flavors of the apples and plums, adding warmth and depth to the filling.
• Puff Pastry: Use store-bought puff pastry sheets for convenience and a flaky crust.
• Egg: Beaten egg is brushed on the pastry crust before baking, giving it a golden brown color and a shiny finish.
• Icing Sugar: For added flavor.

How To Make Apple Plum Tarts In The Air Fryer

Here are the simple ingredients needed for making plum tarts in air fryer:

First, prepare the fruit by coring and thinly slice the apple and removing pits and thinly sliced plums.

Place sliced fruit in a bowl and add in brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Gently toss to coat fruit, then allow to sit for 10 minutes to release juices.

Cut circles from puff pastry sheet approx. 5″ in diameter.

Place inside round pie tins lines in the middle with slices of apple and plum.

Fold in edges, then brush pastry with egg wash.

Preheat air fryer to 330˚F (165˚C), air fryer setting. Place pie tins inside and cook for 8 minutes or until the pastry has turned golden. Remove from the air fryer, top with icing sugar and serve.

Pro Tips For Air Fryer Apple Plum Tarts

• For best results, preheat your Air Freyr, per the manual’s instruction, or for 5 minutes at 330 degrees F, air fryer setting. This really helps the puff pastry to perfectly.
• Try to slice your pears and apple about the same size so they cook up at about the same time.
• This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid. The cooking time may vary slightly.
• If you do not want to use puff pastry, you can change it for refrigerated or homemade pie crust.
• If you do not have baking cups that will fit into the Air Fryer, you can use either parchment paper or spray your basket with cooking spray.

How To Make Ahead

These are great desserts that you can make ahead of time. To store them, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container and place them into the refrigerator.

You can either reheat them in the microwave or the air fryer before serving.

How To Freeze Plum Tarts

These are actually one of the best Air Fryer Desserts that you can freeze ahead of time. I made a batch last winter for Thanksgiving and then froze them! So good!

• To Freeze The Apple Plum Tarts: Let them cool to room temperature, then place them onto a greased baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer, and freeze until the Apple Plum Tarts are frozen solid. Please remove them and place them into either a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
• To Use From Frozen: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then place them into the microwave or air fryer to reheat.
