Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts (2 pie crusts)
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or to taste
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

Place 1 pie crust onto a lightly floured surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Using a 2-1/4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter cut the pie crust into 10 circles. Repeat with the second pie crust for a total of 20 pie crust circles.
Fill about 1/2 of each circle with apple pie filling. Place a second pie crust circle on top, making a mini pie. Do not overfill. Press down the edges of the mini pies, crimping with a fork to seal. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place a batch of the mini pies in the air fryer basket, leaving space around each for air circulation.
Bake until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the basket and bake remaining pies. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium Granny Smith apples, diced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons cold water
½ (14 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
cooking spray
½ tablespoon grapeseed oil
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon milk, or more as needed

Steps:

Combine apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a non-stick skillet. Cook over medium heat until apples have softened, about 5 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in cold water. Stir into apple mixture and cook until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove apple pie filling from heat and set aside to cool while you prepare the crust.
Unroll pie crust on a lightly floured surface and roll out slightly to smooth the surface of the dough. Cut the dough into rectangles small enough so that 2 can fit in your air fryer at one time. Repeat with remaining crust until you have 8 equal rectangles, re-rolling some of the scraps of dough if needed.
Wet the outer edges of 4 rectangles with water and place some apple filling in the center about 1/2-inch from the edges. Roll out the remaining 4 rectangles so that they are slightly larger than the filled ones. Place these rectangles on top of the filling; crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut 4 small slits in the tops of the pies.
Spray the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray. Brush the tops of 2 pies with grapeseed oil and transfer pies to the air fryer basket using a spatula.
Insert basket and set the temperature to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove pies from the basket and repeat with the remaining 2 pies.
Mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Brush glaze on warm pies and allow to dry. Serve pies warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

Use Granny Smith apples: Their tart flavor holds up well to the heat of the air fryer.
Peel and core the apples: This will help them cook evenly.
Slice the apples thinly: This will also help them cook evenly.
Add a little sugar and cinnamon: This will help sweeten the apples and give them a nice flavor.
Use a preheated air fryer: This will help the pies cook evenly.
Cook the pies for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the filling set.

Conclusion:

Air fryer apple pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a warm, flaky apple pie that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
