It’s easy to make these Air Fryer Apple Pies in just 8 minutes with a store-bought crust and apple pie filling, a simple air-fried dessert!
Are you craving an easy dessert? These Air Fryer Apple Pies were a hit at our house and take just 8 minutes in the air fryer to make. So quick and easy!
This turned out to be a fun dessert especially as we head into the fall.
Tips to Make Air Fryer Apple Pies:
The key here is figuring out how many will fit in your air fryer. We decided to use store-bought pie crust for these, I used a box of refrigerated pie crust that included 2 crust, you will want to use both of them to make 4 apple pies.
The first thing to do will be to cut the pie crust into 4 equal parts, you can do this to both of the pie crust. Once you have them cut, you will fill half of it with the apple pie filling and use the half that isn’t topped with filling as the top layer to the pie crust.
Once you have the bottom layer, pie filling, and top layer, simply seal it with a fork, pressing the edges together.
It’s so easy!
Now for the browning of the crust, this works the best with a beaten egg, simply use 2 eggs and whisk them together really well. Use a brush and brush it over the top layer of crust, then add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Once that’s done, you can just add them right to the air fryer or coat it with some coconut or olive oil spray first.
Can you use homemade apple pie filling?
I used canned apple pie filling; however, you can most definitely use homemade apple pie filling too. It works perfectly, honestly you can use any pie filling you prefer so you can make a variety of flavors too.
Even adding a drizzle of caramel would be a great option for this easy recipe too.

Did I read that right?!? Almost 700 calories for ONE?!?
Sometimes it varies depending on the ingredients you use, but it’s essentially a double-crusted pie, so it’s likely pretty close to that.
How do you keep the dough from sticking to the rack when cooking. Tried several times but the pies tore all to pieces when trying to get them out.
Thanks for a reply on the fried pies
You can spray the basket with some grapeseed oil spray to help them from sticking, also you can use some parchment paper that is made for air fryer baskets too, here is the link – https://www.amazon.com/s?k=air+fryer+parchment+paper&ref=nb_sb_noss. I find this helps a lot too!
