Step 1

Prepare your air fryer as recommended by the manufacturer. For ours, we line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Make pie crust as directed, subbing the sparkling water for the water called for. While not required, it does add such a lovely flavor to the dough.

Step 3

Roll dough out into a rectangle approximately 8½” x 13” between two pieces of parchment paper - doesn’t have to be perfect, use your hands to get it as close to that size as you can. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle the maple sugar over the top. Use your hands to spread it evenly over the dough. Lightly press sugar into the dough.

Step 4

Place parchment paper back on top and carefully flip the dough over. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and spread the jam evenly over the top. Less is better here, if you add too much filling it will ooze out while they bake and make for a more sticky treat.

Step 5

Using the parchment paper to help, roll the long side (the 13” side) into the middle, repeating the same on the other side. Roll each side meeting in the middle as closely as possible.

Step 6

Carefully slice ¾“ slices and place on the prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket. Clean off the knife every few slices as needed. You should get about 18 with a the two end pieces not quite as flat, but still bake-able. Sprinkle with vanilla infused sugar* if using. Air fry at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until the filling is slightly bubbly and the edges are golden brown. If you’re baking in a standard oven (also at 350°) plan on another 10 mins or more to get them to the golden brown color.

Step 7

Once baked, remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Let cool slightly then enjoy! Jam palmiers can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days. They will however never last that long!
