Ingredient Tip & Notes

Puff Pastry: The easiest way to make an apple tart is with frozen puff pastry dough. You can either thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or leave it at room temperature to thaw. Working with cold puff pastry is more manageable than working with puff pastry that has been thawed at room temperature. But either method works.
Apples: The best apples for this recipe are Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
Ground Cinnamon: I love that it adds great flavor to the apples, and nothing pairs better with apples than ground cinnamon!

Air Fryer Apple Pie Puff Pastry Recipe Tips

Apples: Do not slice your apples too thin. Otherwise, they will burn. Slice them about 1/4 inch, which will allow them to become tender, but you will retain some of the texture of the apples.
Preheating: This recipe works best if your air fryer is preheated first. The minute your puff pastry hits the hot air, it will start puffing up.
Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, check on your puff pastry as it cooks up.
Making These In An Air Fryer Oven: If you are making these in an air fryer oven, make sure that you place the puff pastry tars on the bottom shelf or racks so that both the inside and outside are cooking; up; to perfection!
