Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies

Instructions

Heat a medium saucepan on medium-low heat and add in the sliced apples, lemon juice, water, sugar-cinnamon, nutmeg salt, and cornstarch and mix until combined.

Bring mixture to a simmer, and stirring occasionally cook apples until they are slightly soft and sauce is thickened and out 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow the apples to cool for about 10 minutes

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the pie crust and cut it into 4 ½ in circles (I use a circle cookie cutter) and place on the baking sheet.

Place 2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the bottom half of the circle. Flip the top half over until the edges touch. Use a fork and press the edges together.

Using a small knife make three slits in the crust on top of the pies.

Brush the egg wash over the hand pies and sprinkle the coarse sugar on top.

Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes

Place 2-5 hand pies in the air fryer basket. See notes

Air fry for 8-10 minutes.

Notes

• Air fryers can be of different sizes. You don’t want the hand pies to be touching. So don’t overcrowd the basket.
• You can use 2 cans of pie filling instead if you prefer.
• To Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees place hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
