How To Make Air Fryer Mini Lemon Tarts
These are the shells that I used for this recipe.
Add the lemon pie filling to the top of the cup; place them in your air fryer basket or on your air fryer tray. Set the temperature to 250 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes.
Then let cool for a few minutes, then spray the whipped cream on top.
Tips On How To Make Phyllo Cups in the Oven, AirFryer or Crisplid
- For best results, you will need to add the filling before adding them to the Air Fryer. Otherwise, they’ll end up in the heating element in the air fryer!
- Spread them out; you don’t want them touching each other; this will let your lemon tart shells perfectly crisp up.
- This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model and perform the same in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Crips Lid, or even the Mealthy Lid. The cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer.
- For best results, watch these as they cook up.
- You can substitute any pie filling in this recipe; some great ones are raspberry, blueberry, raspberry, and almond pie filling. Pumpkin Pie filling works fantastic as a perfect fall dessert

Have you ever attempted to make a gluten-free version of these?
Thanks!

Yes, and no. I made a batch, using pre-made gluten-free pie dough, and then used a egg wash to keep them moist, since G/F dough tends to dry out more. If you want to make this recipe G/F, use an egg wash, or brush with oil, during the cooking process, to keep the dough moist.
