Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

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

Directions

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 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.
