Cooking Thursday

I came across the following recipe recently when I had an extra pie crust in the fridge.  I had made a one crust pie, and was left with the second one, so this was the perfect way to use it.
These little hand pies were so cute and very tasty, and so easy to make!



Mini Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

1 pie crust, rolled to 1/8th inch thick
Cherry pie filling
Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Use 3 inch round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut circles out from crust.
Add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling to the center of the circle, fold it over and use a fork to crimp the edges.
Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit on the top of each pie.
Brush top with water and sprinkle sugar crystals on top.
Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees.
Place pies in basket in single layer.
Bake for about 9 minutes, until golden brown.

  10. Oh, those look so good! I don't have an air fryer, however, but I guess they could be baked in the oven? I wonder...or do they have to be deep fat fried? I probably should get an air fryer. It might be fun to try! Have a lovely rest of your week.

  12. One of my favorite things when I was growing up (and come to think of it later in life) was when my mother made her fried apple hand pies. Noone could make them like she did.

  13. Love the easy peasy pies. I don't have an air fryer but could do the same thing in our oven if I would only remember to be creative and do it.
    Love it.

  15. They are so cute and no doubt just as tasty! Great way to use up the crust and love that you could just cook them up in the air fryer. Great summer solution so you don't have to turn on the oven. :)
