How To Make Air Fryer Cherry Tart

Start by spreading out the dough. Use your biscuit cutter to make a perfect circle and match it as close as you can to the tart pan.

Please the dough into the mini tart pan, and cut the excess off. Fill the mini tart with the cherry pie filling.

As you fill them place them in your air fryer basket or tray. Set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 8 to10 minutes.

Some Pro Tips

• Depending on where the heating element is in your air fryer, you might need to prebake these before adding the filling. Bake until the crust is golden brown, and then add our pie filling and add it for a few minutes to the air fryer to heat the pie filling.
• You can add pie strips on top if you want.
• You can use either homemade or prepared pie crust for this tart.

Other Pie Fillings You Can Use

While today, I made a simple cherry tart, you can easily change this out to some of your favorite pie fillings, some of my suggestions:

• Blueberry
• Raspberry
• Almond
• Lemon
• Peach

Make-Ahead Instructions:

This tart will last a few days if you refrigerator it after it cools to room temperature. Then, cover the tart with saran wrap and hold off on the whipped cream and cherry until right before serving.

Freezing Instructions:

This is a great treat that will freeze really well. If you let the tart cool down, wrap tightly with saran wrap and then a couple of layers of foil. Place the wrapped cherry tarts in a freezer bag. Air Fryer Cherry Tarts will keep well for about 1 to 2 months.

You can also freeze the pie shell, without the filling, and then fill right before serving.

To Use: Place the frozen pie crust out and leave it in the refrigerator until thawed. Then, fill the pie crust with the filling or heat up in the air fryer before serving.

Should I Use Tart or Sweet Cherries For This Tart?

I always say that you should use what you love since you are the one eating it. But there are two different types of cherries sold, so I thought I would mention it to you before someone asks me.

I usually use Oregon Red Tart Cherries, which to me, tastes almost homemade. But you can use any cherry pie filling that you have at your local grocery store.
