Make this EASY Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie in the Ninja Foodi or Air Fryer, plus easy to make gluten-free too!
Did you know that you can make a pie in the Air Fryer? It’s true, you can! Plus, they come out of the air fryer perfect for a little treat in the afternoon.

What pie pan should you use for Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie?
I made this recipe using 2 7-inch glass pie pans. This was the perfect size for my air fryer. The key is to use one that will fit in your air fryer. This could be anywhere from about an 8-inch pie pan to a 6-inch pie pan.

Be sure to use one that is safe for the air fryer and can handle high heat such as a glass or ceramic pan.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie:
The trickiest part of making this pumpkin pie is getting it in and out of the air fryer.

If you are using a Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker, then use the wire trivet and set it to the lowest position. This will allow you to easily pull the wire trivet out of the pot of the Ninja Foodi using the mitts.
If you are using a traditional air fryer, it’s best to make an aluminum foil sling that goes under your pan to give you handles to pull it out with.
Check out this link on making an aluminum foil sling.
Due to the nature of air fryers and the heating of them, the time will vary. This took about 22 minutes at 350*F for ours to fully cook and set in the middle.
I would suggest checking in on it at 350*F, then adding 3-5 minutes if the center is not quite set yet.
Once it’s fully cooked, carefully remove it and let it cool on the counter before placing it in the fridge to chill.

To make the pie crust, I used gluten-free graham crackers and crushed them, this will be mixed with butter to make a solid crust.

Can you make this in the Ninja Foodi?

This recipe can be made as Ninja Foodi Pumpkin Pie, the instructions remain the same; however, you will need to use the “Air Crisp” Function of your Ninja Foodi.

I did this in both the Air Fryer and the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker with the same result.
Enjoy this Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie!

Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie (Ninja Foodi)
Ingredients
- 2 7- inch Oven-Safe Pie Pans
- 2 Cups Crushed Graham Crackers or Gluten-Free Crushed Graham Crackers
- 5 Tbsp Butter Melted
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Gluten-Free or Regular All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 17 oz Can of Pumpkin Puree Canned Pumpkin
- 2 Eggs Beaten
- 12 oz Can of Evaporated Milk
Instructions
- The first step is to be sure you are using a pie pan that fits your air fryer, I used a Ninja Air Fryer and 2 7-inch pie pans, cooking them each individually.
- Begin by preparing the pie shell, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter using a pastry cutter until it is easy to work with and softened.
- Place this into the pie pans to create the shell, packing it into the pie pan to create the crust.
- Once done, set the pie pans aside and make the filling.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Whisk in the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk.
- Once well combined, pour half into each of the pie pans.
- If you are using a basket of an air fryer, you can use a sling (see post and notes) or you can make a foil sling (see post and notes) to make your pies easy to lift out. If you are using a Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker, you can make this using your wire trivet that comes with the Ninja Foodi, set to the lowest position.
- Cook in the Air Fryer or Air Crisp for the Ninja Foodi at 350*F for 20-23 minutes. Check on it at 20 minutes and if the center is not fully set let it cook an additional 3 minutes.
- Once done, carefully remove and cool.
- Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
