These Air Fryer Hand Pies are SO quick and easy to make. We’re making 4 flavors today: S’Mores, Blueberry, Caramel Apple, and Cherry! I used store-bought crust and fillings to make this ULTRA easy, but feel free to make your own homemade crust and fillings!

Love your air fryer too? Be sure to check out our other recipes: air fryer sweet and spicy walnut chicken tenders, air fryer mozzarella sticks, and air fryer chicken nuggets. 

I am SO excited, because this is the first time I’ve used my air fryer for a sweet recipe!

This is also the first time I’ve made hand pies.

Say hellllloooooo to air fryer hand pies.

You guys are gonna love ’em.

Reasons why I love this recipe:

  • I got to use my air fryer again
  • I got to eat homemade pie that’s actually EASY to make
  • I got to make not 1, not 2, nope, not even 3, but FOUR different flavors of pie

Today, we’re making 4 different hand pies:

  1. S’Mores
  2. Blueberry
  3. Caramel Apple
  4. Cherry

What flavor would you make first? Let me know in the comments below what flavor I should make next!

But until then, let’s make some hand pies shall we?!

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks food by circulating hot air around the food. Aka the food gets “fried” by hot air.

I’m never one for buying the latest and greatest kitchen toys (I’m such a minimalist), but I’m actually really loving our air fryer.

It’s SO much healthier than deep frying, but food gets crispier than “oven fried” recipes.

What are air fryer hand pies?

I had never had a hand pie before I made these and I absolutely LOVE them.

I’m actually not the biggest fan of pie *gasp! I know*, but I’m crazy obsessed with these hand pies.

They’re basically portable pies that are individual sized AND you don’t need utensils to eat them.

Plus, I love the filling to crust ratio.

Now.

You ready to make some pie?!

How to make air fryer s’mores, blueberry, caramel apple, and cherry hand pies

  1. Unroll refrigerated pie crusts(semi-homemade recipes are the BEST) and use a 4.5 inch round cookie cutter to make 8 even rounds
  2. Fill with fillings:
    1. S’Mores: place a heaping half tablespoon marshmallow fluff (drool) and a heaping half tablespoon nutella in the middle of a round
    2. Blueberry: place a heaping tablespoon blueberry pie filling in the middle of a round
    3. Caramel Apple: place a heaping tablespoon apple pie filling and an soft caramel square in the middle of a round
    4. Cherry: place a heaping tablespoon cherry pie filling in the middle of a round
  3. Moisten the outside of each pie crust round with water
  4. Fold pie crust in half and press the two seams together
  5. Use a fork to gently press the seams together further
  6. Use a sharp knife to score the top of the crust three times (see video for visuals)
  7. Coat pies with cooking spray and sprinkle with:
    1. S’Mores: crushed graham crackers
    2. Blueberry, Caramel Apple, Cherry: coarse turbinado sugar
  8. Set aside.
  9. Pre-heat your air fryer to 350 degrees F, place in 2 hand pies and air fry for 11 minutes or until the crust is golden brown
  10. Repeat with remaining hand pies

Can i bake hand pies?

Yes! I’d suggest 400 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes. Start watching them halfway through so they don’t get too brown!

Is that not SO easy?!

And delicious.

Flakey, perfectly cooked pie crust filled with all your favorite fillings!

While I love them all, I’m a real sucker for the s’mores flavor. 🙂

    Sounds like a good recipe. For those of us without the pre-timed functions, what is the actual cooking time? 6 minutes?

      What do you mean pre-timed functions? Temperature should be at 350 and cook time is 11 minutes as listed.

    4 stars I do not have a PREHEAT on my air fryer, so should I just bake it under cake…Can’t wait to try these so convenient for single family homes….. dangerous too…. I’ve seen temp. from 320 to 350 degrees, should i just start low and see what happens? 11-25-2020

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      I’d set your temperature to 350 as listed in the directions and then let it heat up for 5 minutes – hopefully that’ll give the air fryer a chance to “preheat”, then I’d air fry according to the directions. This would be my best guess, good luck! 🙂

    I would make calzones with Italian hot sausage, pepperoni, fried mushrooms (to get the moisture out), mozzarella and a little spaghetti sauce. Take dough lay flat. Drizzle olive oil over dough. Spread olive oil evenly over dough right to the edge. Turn dough over so oiled side is down. Olive oil makes this real crispy. Put filling on half of dough, fold in half and crimp edge. With a knife cut a couple of vent holes to let steam out. Place in preheated Air Fryer and bake like fruit pies. 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes

    5 stars These worked perfectly – I made lemon instead of s’mores because we are not big s’mores fans. It was so much fun to have all the different flavors.

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      I’ve never tested it, but I’m guessing it would be like the cherry or like the s’mores version!

    I would like to make breakfast pies could I just switch out the filling? Can I make ahead of time and freeze and then air fry as needed? If so what temp and how long?
    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Shannon! Should be fine to just switch out the filling as long as it’s not too liquid-y. I don’t see why you couldn’t freeze and air fry as needed. I’d keep the temperature the same, but it’ll take longer… just not sure how long since I’ve never tried it. 🙂

    5 stars Made these tasty little bites today, so easy and really good with vanilla ice cream! I now have a legit reason to buy frozen pie crust at Costco! You know, that large box. 😬

    Sounds delicious & easy. I’ve been thinking about getting an air fryer. Any tips that you have learned since you’ve been using yours, that would be helpful for someone just starting out? What brand & model do you use?
