Air Fryer Peach Pie
Description
Air fryer peach pie made with fresh peaches and flaky pie crust. Four golden hand-held pies with a thick, jammy filling that won't leak — ready in 15 minutes with no oven.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pie crust, thawed, refrigerated
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 egg, beaten (egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk, beaten (egg wash)
Peach Filling
- 5 peaches, peeled and diced, ripe
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons turbinado, or demerara sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, dry, peel, and pit the peaches, then dice into small cubes. Toss gently with the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to draw out the juice.
- Drain the juice into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, reserving the fruit. Whisk in the cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until simmering. Continue 2 to 3 minutes until thickened to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, almond extract, and vanilla. Fold in the reserved peaches and let cool completely.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F on the air fry setting. Lightly spray the basket or tray with oil.
- Unroll the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut once horizontally and once vertically to make four equal sections.
- Brush each section generously with egg wash. Spoon 1 to 1½ tablespoons of cooled filling onto one half, leaving a clear border.
- Fold each section over to form a pocket and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Cut two small vents in each top.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and arrange in the basket in a single layer with space between. Air fry 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway, until deep golden brown.
- Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and rest 5 minutes before serving.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Cool the filling completely before assembly or the crust will turn gummy.
- Canned peaches: use 2 cups drained, skip the chill, and cut the sugar to ⅓ cup.
- Freeze assembled but uncooked pies and air fry from frozen, adding 5 minutes.
