APPLE HAND PIES IN AIR FRYER:
-
Remove pie crust from the package. Unroll it onto a flat surface, such as a larger cutting board or clean kitchen counter.
-
Using a pastry cutter or sharp paring knife, cut the crust into small circles, about 6 inches in size. Then reroll the scraps of pie crust into a flat layer using a rolling pin and cut additional circles until all of the crust is used.
-
Place each 6-inch circle on a lightly floured counter or baking sheet. Spoon apple pie filling onto the center of one side of each crust circle (leaving space for edges). Once they are all filled, fold the crust over and pinch or use a fork to seal edges.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Then in another small dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon together.
-
Brush pies with egg wash mixture onto the top of each pie and then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, or just coarse sugar.
-
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray or line with air fryer parchment paper liners. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 6 minutes, turning pies halfway through cooking process.
-
Let them rest for a few minutes on a baking rack and then serve hot, warm or room temperature.
