Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies

Step 1

Add all apple pie filling ingredients to a medium sized saucepan.

Step 2

Over medium high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are softened and sauce has thickened. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, teaspoon of ground cinnamon and remaining milk to create a glaze, set aside.

Step 5

Cut 4 inch circles out of the pie pastry. Save the pastry scraps and roll out with a rolling pin to create additional circles.

Step 6

Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of the cooled apple pie filling into the center of each circle.

Step 7

Fold over to create a half circle. Seal the pastry by crimping the edges with a fork or with your hands.

Step 8

Use a knife to cut a small slit or X into the top center of each hand pie.

Step 9

Spray the air fryer with cooking spray. Working in batches, place several hand pies in the air fryer, lightly brush the top of each hand pie with the beaten egg wash and cook at 360 degrees F on the air fry setting for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Flip the hand pies and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the apple hand pies are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside hand pies to cool on a wire rack and repeat with the remaining pies.

Step 11

Once the pies have cooled, drizzle or brush the glaze across the outside of the hand pies. Allow the glaze to set before serving, enjoy!
