Ingredients
  

For the Hand Pies
  • 2 pieces refrigerator pie crusts Thaw if frozen.
  • 1.5 cups pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 large egg For egg wash.
  • 1 tablespoon water For egg wash.
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar For sprinkling on top.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional, for flavor.
  • Olive oil cooking spray For greasing the air fryer basket.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If the pie crusts are frozen, thaw them per the directions on the package.
  2. Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and use a cookie cutter to cut out 4 4-inch circles from each crust.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie filling to the circles, leaving about a ½-inch border.
  4. Dip a fingertip into some water and run it around the edges of the circles.
  5. Fold the crust over the filling to create a half-moon shape and gently pinch the edges together.
  6. Using a fork, crimp the edges together.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water and brush the mixture all over the pies.
  8. Mix the cinnamon with the sugar and sprinkle it on top of the pies.
  9. Make 3 small incision cuts on the top of each pie.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
  2. Spray the basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the pies in one single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. You may need to cook these in batches.
  3. Air fry for 9-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or with a dollop of lightly whipped cream. Cool completely before storing. Kept in an airtight container, they last a day or two at room temperature; refrigerated, they last up to 4 days.
