Preparing apple pie filling filling is easy. Put all your filling ingredients in one bowl. Mix it with a big spoon or spatula. Mix it well until all ingredients fully merge with each other.

Then remove the crust dough from refrigerator. Splash some flour on your working sheet so your pie dough does not stick to the surface when working on it.

Then roll the dough on your sheet. You can use rolling pin or any other utensils for rolling.

Now make your dough circles. Cut your dough into small circle shapes. You can use a cookie cutter, a cup or anything.

Then preheat air fryer to 350 degrees. Make sure you set it to “Bake”.

It is time to assemble the hand pies. Start adding the filling in the center of circles. Take 2 tbsp of apple pie filling for each crust.

Then close the crust by using wet fingers so the water gets on the edges of the crust. Close all your crusts the same way.

Then gently brush your pie crust outside with oil.

Then bake it in your air fryer at lowest rack for 5 minutes using your baking sheet. They are done when the crust turns into golden brown.

Voila! your pies are done and ready to eat.

You can sugar coat your pie if you like it that way. You can use powdered sugar or plain sugar for that purpose.
