Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies

Step 1

Remove pie crusts from packaging and allow to come to room temperature, per package instructions.

Step 2

Cut the pie crusts into 5-inch circles using a cookie cutter.

Step 3

Place two slices of apples from the apple pie filling onto the pie crusts on the bottom half of the crust. With a little water on the tip of your finger, moisten the outside edges of the pie crust. Fold dough over filling to form half-moons; pinch the edges of the crust together, then crimp edges with a fork to seal.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a splash of water. Brush the pies with the egg wash all over the tops.

Step 5

Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the coarse sugar over each pie.

Step 6

Make three slits in the crust on the top of the pies.

Step 7

Preheat the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8

Place 2 pies in the basket at a time and air fry for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining pies. (If your air fryer basket is large, you can cook more than 2 at a time as long as they are not touching at all.)

Step 9

Serve with caramel sauce for dipping!
