Raise of hands of who has a nostalgic soft spot for hand pies from their childhood? Us and The Grill Dads, too.
Using Spiceology Apple Cinnamon blend and easy ingredients you probably already have in the pantry - pop these babies in the air fryer and you have dessert done in just under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Spiceology Apple Cinnamon Blend
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 large green apples, peeled and diced
- 2 small lemons, juiced, divided
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 prepared rolled pie crust, from one (15 ounces) package
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter, apples, and 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and cook until they’ve just started to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Keep cooking but add in the sugars and Apple Cinnamon Blend. Cook the filling down until almost caramelized, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely before building the hand pies.
- Roll out the dough and cut each round into 4 rectangles, about 3 by 5 inches. You may need to trim the rounded top and bottom of the pie round to give you straight edges to work with.
- Fill 4 of the rectangles with about S cup of the filling. Brush the edges of the pie dough with water, top with another rectangle and press to seal. Use a fork to press the edges together further.
Heat your Ninja Food air fryer to 380°F. We’re doing ours outside on our Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill. Cook the hand pies directly in the air fryer basket for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the air fryer and cool for 5 minutes before icing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice until a thin icing forms. Brush the still warm hand pies with the icing. Let the icing set for 2 minutes before enjoying.
