Description

Irresistible Air Fryer Apple Pie Delights bring classic American dessert magic into quick, crispy perfection. Warm cinnamon-spiced apples nestled in golden, flaky pastry create a nostalgic treat promising comfort and sweetness you cannot resist.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 16.3-ounce (462 grams) can of Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers biscuits (8 large biscuits; Sweet Hawaiian, Honey Butter, or Original flavor)
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) apple pie filling (from a 20-ounce/567 grams can)

Sweeteners and Spices:

  • ½ cup (100 grams) cinnamon sugar

Fats:

  • ⅓ cup (76 grams) butter

Instructions

  1. Transform softened butter in a microwave-safe container for approximately 30 seconds, stirring until completely liquefied. Create a cinnamon sugar blend by thoroughly mixing equal proportions of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a compact mixing vessel.
  2. Select pie filling and meticulously dice apples into uniform half-inch cubes. Reserve any surplus filling for alternative culinary applications.
  3. Configure air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for preheating, ensuring optimal cooking temperature.
  4. Extract refrigerated biscuits and carefully separate each into two equal segments. Utilize a cylindrical rolling implement to delicately flatten each segment into approximately 3.5-inch diameter circular shapes.
  5. Position one rounded tablespoon of diced apple filling precisely at the center of each biscuit circular. Artfully fold peripheral edges toward the central zone, firmly pressing edges together to create a secure seal resembling a compact pastry parcel.
  6. Immerse each assembled pastry first into melted butter, then generously coat with prepared cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring comprehensive coverage on both exterior surfaces. Optional: Repeat coating process for enhanced flavor intensity.
  7. Lightly coat air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent potential adhesion. Strategically arrange pastry parcels without mutual contact, positioning sealed side downward. Execute cooking process for 7 minutes until achieving golden-brown crispness.
  8. While initial batch cooks, continue preparing remaining biscuit delights using identical methodology. Serve immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and textural quality.

Notes

  • Quickly melt butter and mix cinnamon sugar for a speedy flavor boost that elevates the entire recipe.
  • Chop canned apple pie filling into small, consistent pieces to ensure even distribution and perfect bite-sized treats.
  • Flatten biscuit dough carefully to create uniform circles that will wrap seamlessly around the sweet apple filling.
  • Seal the edges tightly when folding to prevent filling from leaking during the air frying process, creating perfect golden pockets.
  • Double-dipping in melted butter and cinnamon sugar creates an irresistible crispy, caramelized exterior that makes these delights extra indulgent.
  • Arrange delights with space between them in the air fryer basket to guarantee even cooking and maximum crispiness on all sides.
