  • Strawberries: Use fresh, make sure to wash them and then dry them, before making this recipe.

  • Granulated Sugar: If you want a diebetic-friendly recipe, you can use Splenda or another sugar alternative.
  • Cream Cheese: You can use low-fat or regular cream cheese.
  • Powdered Sugar: A great way to make a quick frosting or icing.
  • Egg white: The egg wash will help crisp the hand pie.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds some flavor to the icing!

How to Cook Strawberry Hand Pies In Air Fryer

The first thing you want to do is preheat the air fryer for these strawberry cheese pies. Then spritz the tray with oil to prevent sticking. 

Then in a bowl, you can add the cream cheese, and beat it on high for 3 minutes. You want the cream cheese to become pretty fluffy in texture. 

Next, you will slowly add your powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until it is nice and creamy. 

In a different bowl cut up your strawberries and then mix with granulated sugar and cornstarch. Coat all the berries. 

Now you will fold in the strawberries with the cream cheese mixture. 

Roll out the dough, and cut out circles with a cookie cutter. Scoop around 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place in the center of the pie crust. 

Top with pie crust, brush with egg wash, and lightly go over with an egg wash. Bake in the air fryer as directed. 

Allow the pies to cool a bit, frost then serve.

Can I use frozen strawberries in this recipe? 

Go right ahead and use frozen berries in this recipe if you want. You will want to just cut up the berries and then toss them in the bowl with cornstarch and sugar. 

The only thing with frozen berries is they have more water to them, so they can be a little soggy as they melt down a bit. 

Can you make pies in an air fryer?

Don’t underestimate the air fryer. It is a great device to cook pies in it. You can make whole pies or mini pies like this recipe. The biggest thing is just to watch your pies, so they don’t overcook. 

If you find your crust is looking to brown too fast, place a tent of aluminum foil over the crust of the pie. This allows you to cook the pie, without overcooking and drying out the crust. 

Tips For Making Air Fryer Pies 

  • Leave room in between each pie that you cook. If they touch the dough will not fully cook. 
  • You can dust the pies with some granulated sugar for a fun twist of sweetness. 
  • Go ahead and change up the fruit used in these mini air fryer pies. You can use any fruit or a blend of fruit. 
  • Create a glaze to drizzle on top of cool pies, or serve them plain or dusted with powdered sugar. 

Storage Of Air Fryer Hand Pies Strawberry Cream Cheese

If you have any leftover pies, you can store them for 4-5 days. I like to store my pies in the fridge, as it will extend the shelf life of the fruit. 

If you don’t want to eat all the pies right away, you can place them in a single layer in a freezer bag and freeze your pies. Place wax paper in between layers if you plan to stack them. 

Freeze for 3-4 months. When you want one, remove it and let it quickly thaw on the counter or reheat in the microwave.
