Ingredients
  

For the crust and filling
  • 1 package (14 oz.) refrigerated pie crust Ready-made dough that’s soft yet firm, perfect for rolling.
  • 1 can (21 oz.) pie filling, any kind Choose your favorite fruity filling.
For the wash and topping
  • 1 large egg Provides a rich, golden sheen.
  • 1 teaspoon water Used for binding with the egg wash.
  • Coarse sugar Adds a delightful crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Roll out the refrigerated pie crust into a circle approximately 13 to 14 inches in diameter.
  3. Using a 3½ to 4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 6 to 7 rounds from the rolled pie crust. Re-roll scraps to create 1 to 2 additional rounds.
  4. Place about a tablespoon of your preferred pie filling onto half of the pie crust rounds.
  5. Moisten the edges of the filled rounds with a fingertip dipped in water, then place the other half of the rounds on top and press with a fork to seal.
  6. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly coat the tops of the hand pies with the wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the pies in a single layer inside the preheated air fryer. Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Feel free to experiment with different fillings like chocolate or savory options.
