Air Fryer Apple Pies Recipe: How to Air Fry Apple Pie

Print Recipe
Maybe you were wondering if you can air fry apple pie? The answer is: yes you can! I’m so excited to share this Air Fryer Apple Pies recipe with you! It’s completely made from scratch with a flaky and buttery pie crust filled with irresistibly juicy, soft, and sweet apples.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 4–5 tablespoon water, cold

Apple Filling

  • 4 cups thinly sliced apples (peeled), about 3–4 apples
  • 6 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Crust

  • egg wash (1 large egg + 1 tablespoon of water)
  • 2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, salt, sugar, and butter in a food processor and pulse 4-5 times until pea-sized butter flakes are still visible. Add one tablespoon of water at a time and pulse 1-2 times after every tablespoon. Stop adding water when the dough starts to clump together.
  2. Transfer the crust onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a 1-inch (2.5cm) thick disc. Cover tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  3. Place the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes so that the apples start to release some juice.
  4. In the meantime, on a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Then cut each piece into ⅔ and ⅓ pieces so that you have 4 larger pieces of pie crust for the bottom of the ramekins and 4 smaller ones for the top of the 4 mini apple pies.
  5. Roughly shape each piece into a round disc and roll out until the bottom pieces are big enough to cover the bottoms and sides of the ramekins with a little overhang and the top pieces also cover the tops of the baking forms with a slight overhang on the sides.
  6. Fit the bottom pieces into the forms, spoon the apple pie filling into the crust without any excess liquid, and place a few butter pieces on top. Then place the top pie crust pieces on top of the filling and seal and flute the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow the steam to escape while baking. Decorate the pie crust to your liking and brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
  7. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 18 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325°F (163°C) and bake for another 7 minutes. If you notice that it browns too quickly, you can cover the pies loosely with aluminum foil* for the last few minutes if necessary.
  8. Let cool at room temperature for 2 hours. Then place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 4 days. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Depending on the air fryer model, this might not be possible as the foil could fly around and cover the heating element.
