Equipment

Air Fryer
Rolling Pin
Pastry mat , for easy dough prep
Biscuit cutter , to shape the crust
Fork , to seal the hand pies

Ingredients

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 granny smith apples , diced but not peeled
2 pre-made pie crusts

Instructions

Place your white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and diced apples into a small saucepan.
Heat the apple mixture until bubbling, then allow to cool. This is important to help prevent the mixture from leaking out of the hand pie.
Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter or small bowl, cut out 6 circles from your two pie crusts.
Place a spoonful of apple pie filling onto the center of each pie crust circle.
Fold the pie crust in half to form a calzone shape and use a fork to seal the edges
Place three hand pies in your air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve your hand pies warm and garnish with caramel drizzle, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or ice cream.
