Air Fryer Mini Apple Pies
Description
Air Fryer Mini Apple Pies are quick, flaky, individual apple pies made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. Use homemade or store-bought crust and have warm, cinnamon-spiced mini pies in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts, homemade or store-bought
- 2½ cups apples, peeled and finely diced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Optional: 1 egg or 1 Tbsp milk, for brushing + coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Cut rounds from the first crust sheet slightly larger than the mold cavities. Lightly grease the silicone mold and press a round into each cavity and up the sides.
- In a large bowl, stir together the diced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg until well blended.
- Spoon the apple filling into each crust-lined cavity, mounding slightly.
- Cut tops (rounds or lattice) from the second crust sheet, lay over the filling, and press the edges to seal. If desired, brush tops with egg or milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 6 minutes. Flip each pie and air fry 2 more minutes, until golden and flaky.
- Let cool a few minutes, pop out of the mold, and serve.
Equipment
- Silicone mini-cake mold or muffin tin,
- Biscuit cutter or round cutter
Notes
- Pie crust: Homemade or store-bought; you need both sheets.
- 2-ingredient shortcut: Use refrigerated crust + canned apple pie filling.
- Best apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Pink Lady.
- No mold? Use a muffin tin, ramekins, or fold into hand pies.
- Oven option: Bake at 325°F for 10–15 minutes until golden.
- Storage: Airtight 1–2 days at room temp, ~1 week refrigerated, up to 2 months frozen.
