What Are McDonald’s Style Apple Pies?

There is nothing better than a hot apple pie from McDonald’s made with a simple apple filling. The pastry is flaky and so good!

The warm apple filling makes the whole pie! Today, I made them in triangle shapes, but you can easily shape them into the typical rectangle shapes. 

Same great taste and there is nothing better than making a copycat version in your own Air Fryer!

How To Make Air Fryer Copycat McDonald’s Apple Pie

In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples, granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mix into the center of the puff pastry square. Fold it over, shaping a triangle, and firmly press the edges, so they stick together. Repeat the process with the rest of the puff pastry.

Spray the air fryer with cooking spray—Air Fry at 400 degrees F, air fryer sitting, for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown.

Some Common Questions, Regarding This Recipe,

Can You Freeze Air Fryer Copycat McDonald’s Apple Pie

Yes, after you assemble the pies, add them to a baking sheet, pop the baking sheet into the freezer until they are frozen.

Then take them off the baking sheet, and place them in a Ziploc bag. Then when you are ready to eat them, either bake the apple turnovers or air fry them.

How To Keep Air Fryer Apple Turnovers From Leaking.

This is a widespread problem. Since you are folding the edges yourself, you will eventually run into the turnover that leaks.

The only suggestion I can make is to tightly crimp the edges together with your fingers or a fork.

Sometimes adding a small about of water will help the pastry stick together, so use a pastry brush to add a small amount of water to the edges.
