Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies
These Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies use refrigerated pie crusts filled with a sweet cherry pie filling, folded into a half-moon shape, and finished with an egg wash and sugar topping. Air frying crisps the crust to a golden brown with slight caramelization of the sugar on top, creating a tender, flaky pastry surrounding the juicy cherry interior. The hand pies are designed as a convenient, handheld dessert or snack that cooks relatively quickly without heating a full oven.

Ingredients
- 2 pie crust refrigerator
- 1 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 egg large
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar white
- cooking spray
Instructions
- First, thaw the pie crusts per the directions on the package.
- Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and using a cookie cutter cut out 3 or more 5-inch circles from each crust. Discard the scraps.
- Add 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling to the center of the circles leaving about a ½inch border.
- Next, dip a fingertip into some water and run it around the edges of the circles. After that, fold them to create a half-moon shape.
- Using your finger pinch the edges together. Crimp the edges together using a fork.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water and use the egg wash to brush the surface of the hand pies.
- Sprinkle with sugar and make 3 small incision cuts on the top.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.
- Spray the basket with oil spray. Arrange the pies, in one single layer not touching each other. If needed cook in batches.
- Air fry for 9-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
