Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 dairy-free store-bought pie crust (or homemade pie crust)
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Set aside for now.
-
Roll out the pie crust. Use medium-large circle or heart cookie cutters to cut out your desired shape.
-
Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the middle of half the shapes.
-
Take the remaining shapes and place on top, pressing the edges down lightly to seal. Use the tongs of a fork to fully seal. Cut a tiny slit at the top of each with a sharp knife to vent.
-
Take a pastry brush and dip it in the egg wash, then brush this over the tops of each hand pie.
-
Place the hand pies in the air fryer (do not overlap). Air fry at 350 degrees for 11 to 14 minutes.
-
Let cool for a few minutes (the filling will be quite hot). Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- The cooking time may change if you make hand pies that are very large (may need to increase time) or very small (may need to reduce time).
- There is no can size listed - you only need about 1/2 cup total. I can only find larger 21 ounce cans of cherry pie filling at our supermarkets, but if you can find a smaller 12 ounce can, definitely purchase that instead.
- The nutrition analysis below assumes about 85% of one store-bought pie crust was used (the other 15% accounting for scraps after cutting out shapes), assumes about 25% of the egg is used, and assumes about 2 tbsp of cherry pie filling was used in each one (aiming for the high end of the range that people may use).
