Roll out one pie crust, place it into a pie dish that fits into your air fryer, and press down. Wash and slice the apples and combine them with sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl. Transfer the apples to a skillet and cook over low to medium heat for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften. Place the cooked apples onto the crust in the pie dish.Top with the second crust, pinch to seal, and trim off the excess on the edges.Makes several slits or small holes in the top crust.Air fry for 17-25 minutes at 300 degrees F / 148 degrees C until golden brown and bubbly.
Pro Tips
Be sure to select a pie pan that fits your air fryer. I used an 8-inch pie pan. This recipe uses store-bought pie crust, but you can make homemade pie crust. If the pie crust circle has creases, gently roll on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Cut the apples just before you prepare the filling to prevent browning. Feel free to cut apple chunks or slices. When you toss the apples with the cinnamon and sugar mixture, add a splash of lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning. You can prepare the apple mixture in advance and refrigerate it until you are ready to bake. Brush the top pie crust with melted butter or use an egg wash for an extra golden crust. Cut a few slits into the top of the crust before air frying. If you have small pie pans, you can follow this same recipe to make mini pies. Place a small circle of parchment paper below the pie plate in the air fryer basket to catch any bubble over that may occur while you bake the air fryer apple pie.Air fryers all function differently, so the baking time for your air fryer should be used as a guide. Monitor and adjust based on your air fryer. Serve warm, topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
Delicious Variations
Swap The Apples – Use your favorite apples or premade apple pie filling. Add Cheese – Place a few slices of sharp cheddar cheese between the apple filling and the top crust. It adds a beautiful and unexpected flavor.
Prep And Storage
Prep Ahead – You can cook the filling up to several days in advance. Store – Cover leftover pie with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze – Airfryer Apple pie can be frozen before or after air frying. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
