Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt and pulse 3-4 times. Add the cold butter cubes and process until the mixture is crumbly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, water, and lemon juice. Slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture with the food processor running until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and shape it into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. (Don’t skip this step!)
- Chop apples and place them into a medium saucepan along with the cinnamon and sugar. Stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes or until the apples release their juices and become tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool while the pie dough chills.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Spray the basket with olive oil spray.
- Unwrap the dough and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a medium bowl, cut circles from the dough. Re-roll the dough scraps and cut until you have 8 dough circles. (This is a soft dough, but the yogurt makes it easy to work with.)
- In the middle of the circles, place 1-2 tablespoons of the apple mixture. Fold one-half of the circle over to match the opposite edge to enclose the pie filling. Use a little water brushed onto the edges of the dough to help seal the edges. I like to crimpy the edges with the tines of a fork too.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water. Then brush onto the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut 3 slits into the tops of the pies.
- Place pies in the air fryer basket. (Do not crowd, you'll need to cook in batches). Cook for 10-15 minutes until the pies are golden brown.
- Remove the pies from the basket and repeat with the remaining pies. Serve warm with caramel sauce, if desried.
Notes
- The pie dough can be made ahead of time and chilled until ready to make the pies.
