Mini Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated pie dough , 14.1 ounce
• 0.5 cans cherry pie filling , 21 ounce
• butter-flavored cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon coarse sugar crystals for sprinkling

Instructions

1. 1

   Roll out each circle of pie dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles into the dough using a 3-inch round cookie cutter to make 16 circles (8 from each dough round).

2. 2

   Moisten the edge of a circle with water, then add 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling in the center. Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to secure them further. Add a slit in the top of the crust with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.

3. 3

   Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray the air fryer bucket with cooking spray. Place pies in the basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Spray the tops of the pies with more cooking spray, and sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.

4. 4

   Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, about 9 minutes.
