Air Fryer Raspberry Pie Bars Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both work well, but thaw frozen berries and drain excess liquid to avoid a soggy filling.
• Chill the Crust: Refrigerating the crumb crust for 10–15 minutes before adding the filling helps it hold its shape better.
• Don’t Overmix the Crumb Topping: Gently mix until crumbly to keep a light, flaky texture.
• Check Air Fryer Size: Make sure your pan fits comfortably in your air fryer basket for even cooking.
• Cool Before Slicing: Allow the bars to cool completely to set the filling and make clean slices.
• Optional Toppings: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing for extra sweetness and presentation.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
• Freezer: Wrap bars individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
• Reheating: Warm in the air fryer at 300°F for 3–5 minutes or in the oven at 325°F for 5–7 minutes to refresh the crust and filling.
