Description

Air Fryer Caramel Apple Hand Pies are so good! If you have been looking for the perfect fall dessert, this is one of my favorites!

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup Apple Pie Filling
  • 1/2 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Caramel Sauce , (Divided)
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Pie Spice
  • 1 pie crust, (Thawed to room temperature)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar , (Optional Garnish)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine apple pie filling, the vanilla extract, 1 tbsp of the caramel sauce, and the apple pie spice.
  • Set aside. Roll out thawed pie crust on a flat surface – parchment paper works great.
  • Using a biscuit cutter, cookie-cutter, or even a small drinking glass, cut as many circles as you can that will fit into the dough. (I was able to get 12 circles out of one pie crust.)
  • In a bowl, combine 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of water to make an egg wash.
  • Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, paint each circle (front & back) with the egg wash.
  • Lay each circle back down on the parchment paper.
  • Place a Tbsp of the apple mixture into the center of each circle, one at a time – until you’ve placed it on six of the twelve circles. 
  • Leave the other six empty (those will be the “tops”).
  • Take one of the top circles and place it right on top of an apple-filled circle.
  • Seal the two circles together by running your fingers around the edges. 
  • Use a fork and gently press down on the edges you just sealed with your fingers. This will helpfully seal them and leave a pretty pattern. 
  • Repeat until you’ve used all 12 circles to make 6 dumplings total. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting. Place 4-6 dumplings in the basket (depending on the size).
  • Air fry for about five minutes or until dumplings is a nice golden brown color. 
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Optional Garnish: Sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar, then drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce!

Equipment

Notes

These are so yummy when they’re still a little warm right on top of some vanilla ice cream. They are also great cold with a cup of coffee in the morning!
Keep any leftovers in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze them in a plastic bag for 3-4 weeks.
