Ingredients
Filling
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pie
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9 inch)
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces (optional for topping)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the apple filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with ground cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss well to evenly coat the apples with the spices and prevent browning.
- Assemble the pie: Roll out the pie crust to fit your air fryer basket or a small pie dish that fits inside. Place the crust into the dish and pour the apple filling evenly over the crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter if desired for extra richness.
- Apply egg wash: Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg to help achieve a golden brown, glossy finish during cooking.
- Air fry the pie: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie inside and air fry for 18-22 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Check around the 15-minute mark to ensure the crust isn’t burning; cover loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Cool and serve: Let the apple pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set slightly for easier serving and better flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar for a richer sweetness in the filling.
- If your air fryer basket is small, consider making mini pies or using a smaller crust.
- For a crispier crust, preheat the air fryer before placing the pie inside.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
- The egg wash can be omitted for a vegan version or substituted with plant-based milk.
