Equipment

Ingredients

  • 40 g Butter
  • 4 Large Apples
  • 55 g White Sugar
  • 25 g Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • .25 tsp Salt
  • 3 Frozen Puff Pastry
  • 1 Large Beaten Egg

Instructions

Prepare Mixture

  • Slice and Dice the apples into 1cm cubes
  • Place the butter into a frying pan and melt it until the butter is just starting to boil.
  • Place the apple pieces, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into the frying pan and stir well constantly for around 10 minutes until the apples are soft.
  • Remove from the stove, and cool the mixture.

Prepare Puff Pastry

  • Remove frozen puff pastries from the freezer. Thaw for around 15 min until the pastry is a little soft.
  • When puff pastries are slightly softened, run a knife to cut into 9 smaller squares. Apply a layer of egg wash around the sides of each square. The egg wash helps to seal the sides later.
  • Add a spoonful of apple mixture into the middle of the puff pastry square.
  • Fold down the top half of the square so it becomes a rectangle. Using the back of a fork, push down the edges to seal the apple into the puff pastry. Poke a few holes at the top to enable steam to be released. Brush a thin & even layer of egg wash on the top, bottom and sides of the uncooked apple pie.
  • Repeat this for all the mini apple pies.
  • Store the mini apple pies in the fridge on parchment paper until you are ready to air fry.

Cooking

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C or 360°F. This usually takes around 3-5 minutes in most air fryers.
  • Place 4 mini apple pies into the air fryer basket, being careful not to overlap or place too close to each other.
  • Cook at 180°C or 360°F for 8 minutes.
  • Increase the temperature of the air fryer to 180°C or 360°F
  • Turn over the mini apple pies so the bottoms are facing upwards.
  • Cook at 200°C or 390°F for another 3 minutes until golden brown all over.

Notes

  • Once pastries are filled, store in the fridge until you are ready to place in the heated air fryer.
