And the best part? You can whip up these pies in just a few minutes with minimal preparation. So, let’s get started!
The Ingredients You Will Need
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ cup butter, chilled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 4 apples, peeled and chopped
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
To make the crust, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, shape them into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
To make the filling, mix the apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Roll out each disk of dough into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the dough circles in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the air fryer basket and spoon the apple filling onto each crust. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 7-8 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
