The best part is that they can be prepared in just a few minutes using an air fryer. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly irresistible treat.

Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are coated evenly.
3. Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the pie crusts, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
4. Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each pie crust circle. Fold the circle in half to form a semicircle and press the edges together to seal.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
6. Place the pies in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each pie to allow for air circulation. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the pies with turbinado sugar for an extra crunch and sweetness.
8. Remove the pies from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or on their own.
