Air Fryer Hand Pies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh fruit of your choice sliced or cut if needed
  • 1/2 cup sugar if making apple hand pies, mix a little cinnamon with your sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 lemon juice and zest
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla
  • 14 oz pie crust homemade or store bought
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Combine fruit, sugar, corn starch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Add to small pot, and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, and let cool for 15 minutes. 
  • Roll out pie crusts on a flat surface, and use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut circles out of your pie dough.
  • Place 1 tbsp cooled fruit filling in the center of each circle. Brush the edges of your dough circle with water and fold in half. Use a fork to crimp the edges, sealing hand pies. 
  • Use a sharp paring knife to cut a little 'x' on the top. This will allow steam to escape. 
  • Brush tops of pie with heavy whipping cream and then sprinkle with coarse sugar. 
  • Spray Air Fryer basket with non-stick butter spray, and place hand pies in a single layer. Air fry at 350 F for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
