Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Apple Hand Pies
Flaky air fryer apple hand pies with a warm cinnamon-apple filling — like a homemade version of the fast-food classic, but better and far less greasy. The air fryer bakes the crust golden and crisp while the filling bubbles inside.
They're the perfect handheld fall dessert, great warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Make a batch for dessert or an afternoon treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the filling
Cook the diced apples with the honey, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat until just softened and syrupy. Let cool.
Fill & seal
Spoon filling into the center of each dough round, brush the edges with egg white, fold into half-moons, and crimp with a fork.
Air fry
Brush the tops with egg white, cut a small vent, and air fry at 350°F for about 10–12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Cool the filling before sealing so the dough doesn't go soft.
- Crimp firmly and vent the tops so they don't burst.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar right after cooking.
