Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies are made using a few simple ingredients that are already prepared for you and taste way better than any Mcdonald's appie pies. Plus they are super easy to make.

Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies

So, I think this year for Christmas, Santa needs something different other than the usual cookies. Don't you think? Like how about these Apple Hand Pies made in the air fryer? I'm guaranteed he will love them.

These apple hand pies remind me of those deep fried, extremely fatty yummy pies that you get at Mcdonald's. Making them in the air fryer saves half the calories and these apple pies only require 2 ingredients. Store bought apple pie filling (in the can) and an already made pie crust. The canned apple pie filling really reminded me of the filling that Mcdonald's uses in their apple pies.  This is by far the best thing that I have made in my air fryer to date. Check out my video on youtube!

Ingredients Needed

1 store-bought pie crust such as Pillsbury or

1 recipe for 2-ingredient dough

⅓ to ½ cup of apple pie filling

Vanilla Ice Cream to serve on the side 

How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pies 

Lay the pie crust flat on a wood surface. Cut as many equal pieces as you can into squares. Place about 2 tablespoons of the pie filling onto the pie crust and seal the pie filling shut. Prick the sides of the pie crust with a fork.

Set the temp of your air fryer to 390. Place the apple hand pies in an even layer in your air fryer basket. You can brush them with egg wash if you want to. I just spray them with some cooking spray. 

Use some parchment paper in your air fryer basket for easy clean up. 

The hand pies air fry for 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown. 

Serving size: 1 pie.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I serve these apple pies?

You can serve these apple pies with some homemade caramel sauce,  whipped topping such as Cool Whip or Whipped Cream. 

What if I don't have a square cookie cutter? Just cut out even size squares or rectangles from the pie dough. 

Can I make Homemade Apple Pie Filling?

If you don't want to use a can of pie filling I'd suggest making your own homemade apple filling in the Fall and freeze in bags. My recipe has ground cinnamon, brown sugar and regular sugar, and lemon juice. 

How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

This can be prepped the day ahead.

How to make a WW friendly apple pie

This recipe calls for store-bought pie crust and a can of apple filling. To make a more Weight Watcher friendly version use the recipe for 2 ingredient dough. 

If you make the recipe for 2 ingredient dough the pie would be 4 points per serving. Otherwise, one apple pie made with pie crust is 7. I did not use the whole entire can of pie filling for this. I used about ⅓ cup to ½ cup of pie filling. If you want to use sugar-free pie filling you can, I do not like the taste of sugar-free food.

    Yeah, any type of fruit filling would work! Even jam.

    Could we add any other fruit pie filling? This looks so good!

    Hi Dave, I added a video that shows you how to make them. Hope that helps.

    How big should the squares of pie crust be? Do you just place another square of crust on top after putting the filling in? If I wanted to have cinnamon and sugar on the outside, would I put it on before or after cooking?

    Thanks for the tip Audra.

    Our air fryer has 3 shelves and only the top shelf baked in the 8 min and needed flipped half way through. So I had to rotate the shelves or just do one shelf at a time. Just an adjustment if you have a fryer like that also.
