Air Fryer Blackberry Turnovers are amazing! If you want something unique to make in your air fryer for a great breakfast or a tasty dessert, this is one of my favorites!

Wrapped in a flaky and delicious crust, the inside is warm and tasty. And who doesn’t love blackberries?

I love making turnovers with puff pastry in the Air Fryer. It does so well that it was made for it!

The hot air spinning around the dough rises and cooks beautifully. And the inside remains so good!

This is much easier than making a homemade pie, but you will have the same flavors! Serve with vanilla ice cream for a great air-fried dessert.

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.

Puff Pastry: The puff pastry, with its layers of buttery dough, bakes up flaky and golden in the air fryer, providing the perfect crispy exterior for the turnovers.

Cooking Spray or Parchment Paper: To prevent sticking to the air fryer basket.
Sparkling Sugar: For added flavor!

How To Make Air Fryer Blackberry Turnovers

Follow these steps for a quick blackberry air-fried pastry.

Layout Puff Pastry for Blackberry Turnovers

Start by laying out the thawed puff pastry on a flat surface. Cut the sheet into 4 squares.

Blackberry Filing in Center of Puff Pastry Dough

In the center of the puff pastry, add about 2 tablespoons of the pie filling.

Fold the pastry over, making a triangle. Use your fingers to press the dough together. If you have a hard time closing the pastry, dip your ginger into water and brush it along the edges.

Spray the top with olive oil, then sprinkle some sparkling sugar. Set them in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray (both sprayed with olive oil to prevent sticking)

Set in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F (air fryer setting), flip, and air fry for another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked.

Pro Tips

This recipe will work in any air fryer basket or oven model, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, and other models. The cooking temperature will remain the same; however, the time may vary by a few minutes.
You do not need to preheat your air fryer for this recipe.
If you find the Air Fryer Blackberry Turnovers sticking to the basket or tray, spray the basket or tray with non-cooking spray or use a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom.
I like to spray the top to get crispy, but you can skip that and use a simple egg wash instead.
These are best eaten fresh.

How To Store Air Fryer Blackberry Turnovers

If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature and place them in an airtight container. They will stay in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or air fryer before re-serving.

How To Freeze

Like the Pillsbury Frozen Turnovers, you can make and freeze your batch. I love doubling the recipe and then making a batch for another day.

If you want to freeze, you can freeze them cooked or uncooked.

How To Cook In the Oven

Of course, anything you make in the air fryer can be baked in the oven. To do this, prepare as directed, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, and bake for about 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Check the Blackberry Turnovers to ensure they are fully cooked before removing them.
