Ingredients
- 14 ounce refrigerated pie crusts (2)
- 20 ounce apple pie filling
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon milk

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the apple pie filling from leaking out of my air fryer hand pies?
To prevent leaks, ensure you press the edges of the two pie crust circles firmly together after filling them with the apple pie filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely all the way around the 8 circles you cut out. This seals the filling inside before placing them in the air fryer.
Can I make these Air Fryer Apple Hand Pies ahead of time, and how should I store leftovers?
These hand pies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare them unbaked and freeze them for up to 3 months; cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the 10-minute cook time. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for longer freshness.
What is the best way to create a shiny, sweet finish on these 10-minute hand pies?
For a quick, glossy glaze, whisk together the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar with just a tiny splash of milk until smooth and drizzleable. Apply this simple glaze over the hand pies once they have cooled slightly after their 10-minute cook time in the air fryer.
