Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies (5 Ingredient Recipe)
Love cherry pie? Indulge in Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies! This flaky, fruity, and easy hand cherry pie recipe will make your taste buds sing!
Ingredients
- 2 9-inch frozen pie crust, thawed
- 12-18 tablespoons canned cherry pie filling 3/4 cup – 1 1/8 cup
- 1 large egg beaten
Glaze
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350F.
- Working with 1 pie crust at a time, place on a lightly floured surface and roll out only to flatten (leave the thickness the same). Cut 2 circles from each pie crust 5 ½” wide then blend the excess dough together to create another, repeat (Note: you may want to add a splash of milk to help the left-over dough stick together easier), until you have a total of 6.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of cherry pie filling (typically about 6-8 cherries are enough with some of the syrup) to the center leaving about 1/2” untouched, and brush those edges with the egg wash, then fold over creating a half moon shape.
- Using a fork, lightly crimp the edges to keep the filling secure, then cut a slit in the top with a sharp knife. Add more egg wash over the top.
- Place in preheated air fryer for 7-8 minutes until the tops are golden brown. (Note: Depending on the size of your air fryer basket you may need to work in batches as you do not want the pies to overlap).
- Remove and place on a wire rack to cool, then enjoy.
Notes
Pies should be stored lightly covered at room temperature or in refrigerator for a couple of days. They can also be stored in freezer for longer storage.
You can substitute the pie filling with any pie flavor of your choice.
To reheat frozen hand pies in either an oven or air fryer, allow them to thaw completely through. Time will vary depending on the quantity and size of the hand pies.
