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
- 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.
- Select pie filling and meticulously dice apples into uniform half-inch cubes. Reserve any surplus filling for alternative culinary applications.
- Configure air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for preheating, ensuring optimal cooking temperature.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
