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.

Dear Mari, these look easy and very tasty. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to cave in and get an air fryer. I have the leftover pie crust and I have the cherry pie filling! Hahaha xoxo 🏴☠️
ReplyDeleteThis is great for leftover dough!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe easy and tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love cherry hand pies. I haven't tried them in the air fryer though. They look good.
ReplyDeleteThese look perfect, Mari! I used to make hot pockets at home, but they never looked so professional :)
ReplyDeleteHello, my friend! You know, Rhett has an air fryer, and I am going to show this to him! These look amazing. You always have the best recipes! Have a nice day to end April.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very good use for that extra pie crust. And...these are the perfect size for a snack. I will be giving these a try.... Thanks Mari..
ReplyDeleteOh yum! These look so good! I always have left over pastry so must remember to make something like this. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks so easy and yummy. TFS Janice
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great idea I have a single pie crust in the freezer.

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.
ReplyDeleteI’m definitely going to have to make these.
ReplyDeleteCherry is my favorite, Mari!
ReplyDeleteOne 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.
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteLove it.

Wow!! I love this! How easy and tasty!
ReplyDeleteThey 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. :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! I made some a while back...some cherry, some blueberry and some apple. They are such an easy treat.
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have shared a recipe I really want to try!
ReplyDeleteI will be making these for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey look very good but now that you have done this, I challenge you to make savory ones next time! You know, like little mini Yorkshire Pies! Go on, you can do it!
