How to make Air Fryer Hand Pies
- Unroll the pie crust from the packaging onto a clean flat surface.
- Use a pie cutter or a knife to cut 6-inch circles from the dough. Flatten and roll the dough as needed to get as many circles as you can from the packaged dough.
- Combine the lemon juice and lemon zest with the cream cheese.
- Stir the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry filling to one side of the dough.
- Fold the dough over, and seal by pinching or using a fork on the edges.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and then combine it with the condensed milk to make the egg wash. Brush the pies with the egg-wash mixture.
- Cut 3 small slits into the top of the pie crusts.
- Prepare the air fryer basket if needed. Place the pies in a single layer in the bottom of the basket of the air fryer.
- Air fry the pies at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes, flipping the pies halfway through the cooking time.

FAQs
Do I have to use fresh fruit for these little hand pies?
I love the taste of fresh fruit the best, but that doesn't mean that you can't use frozen fruit. This easy recipe is versatile, with easy steps that anyone can do.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that if you do use frozen foods, be sure that you let the fruit thaw and then drain because the frozen fruit will release a ton of liquid, making the crust or dough soggy.
When is a good time to serve this easy handheld treat?
This great recipe is so flexible! With a fast cook time, these easy blueberry hand pies can be made for a quick snack or are great for a treat to pack for a road trip. Don't forget that they're perfect for picnics, too!
