There is just something about a fresh baked apple pie! The wonderful aroma of cinnamon fills the air and the anticipation of that first piece of Apple pie consumes every thought (or is that just me?).
No holiday is complete without one or two pies.
The other day I got a call from a friend that is current living in another state with her husband while he completes a work assignment. They are only there until December 1st, and are living in a hotel apartment. They basically have some clothes and that’s it. While we were discussing the upcoming holiday season, she was telling me about her Thanksgiving predicament, her husband hates to go to restaurants on holidays yet he wants a traditional Thanksgiving meal. She told me she was going to order most of their meal from a grocery store, but she was going to miss having a warm piece of home made Apple pie.
Then, like a light going on in my head I thought of my Avalon Bay AirFryer! The perfect small appliance for her to be able to make a small Apple pie for two. I told her to order an AirFryer and I would start working on an easy Apple pie recipe for two.
This is what I came up with.
1. Cut the pre-made pie crust a little larger than the size of the baking pan.
2. Combine the cut apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and Vanilla.
3. Place the apple mixture in the pie crust.
Cover the apple mixture with the second cut pie crust. With the pie crust scraps you can make cut-out shapes and place them on top of the top crust. Brush the top crush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar, then place into the AirFryer.
- 1 Pillsbury Refrigerator pie crust
- Baking spray
- 1 large apple, chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar
- Defrost pre made pie crust according to package directions.
- Pre-heat the Airfryer on the highest degree while you are preparing the pie.
- Using the smaller baking tin, cut 1 crust about an ⅛ of an inch larger than the tin and a second one a little smaller than the baking tin. You may need to roll the crust a tiny bit with a Rollin pin to stretch the pie crust. Set the smaller one aside.
- Spray the baking tin with the baking spray and place the larger cut crust into the baking pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, place the chopped Apple, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
- Pour the apples into the baking pan with the pie crust.
- Top apples with pieces of butter.
- Place the second pie crust over the top of the apples and pinch edge. Make a few slits in the top of the dough.
- Spread beaten egg over the top of the crust and sprinkle raw sugar over the top of the egg mixture.
- Place pie in AirFryer basket.
- Set the timer for 30 minutes at 320 Degrees
My Tips!
- I have found the AirFryer works best for baked goods when I pre-heat the AirFryer. I run the AirFryer empty while I am preparing the food at the highest temperature.
- Be careful when you place the pan into the AirFryer basket as the basket will be hot.
- Serves 2 large pieces or 4 small pieces.
This is not a sponsored post, I love my Airfryer and thought it would be the perfect appliance for her.
Enjoy!
Until Next Time…

Love me some warm apple pie.
Candy, I can’t think of anything better!
I’ve never heard of an Air Fryer and think it sounds pretty cool and maybe healthy, even?
They are so much healthier to cook in, they use little to no oil. There a few items I can’t make in my AirFryer.
Oh, I can almost smell it from here – and I wish I could! That looks delicious!
Hi I just bought an air fryer second hand and I see there’s a lot of recipes that say place in Basket but mine didn’t have a basket can I cook a pie without it
Hi Darlene,
Most companies have their instruction manuals online. The manual will let you know where to place any food item to receive the most outstanding result.
Apple pie is the ultimate comfort food! Love it!
I have never heard of an AirFryer either, looks like I should give it a try! Does it taste different or have a different texture from baking the pie?
If you didn’t bake it yourself you would never know it was not done in an oven!
I have never done nothing with an Airfryer, I heard about it, but I never thought that I could make a pie!! That’s awesome!!
This recipe looks delicious! Thank you for sharing such a great pie dish… I can’t wait to try it!
I am craving apple pie, now! This seems really easy. I am going to print the recipe and get an Air Fryer. Thanks for the tips!
That crust looks SO lovely! Just the perfect shade with a slight glaze — so delicious looking! Now, of course, we ALL want Apple Pie!

I have never heard of an Air Fryer but now I’m intrigued. Oh, and we are big apple pie eaters in my nouse!
I want to eat apple pie right now! Your pictures look so deliciously fresh and yummy. Love the name of your blog. Brilliant! I cannot wait to make apple pie this weekend. Cheers!
Thank you so much, Aarika!
Apple pie, oh my. I love pie… so wholesome, comforting, and well, delicious! And this AirFryer looks intriguing to say the least.
There are so many thing I cook using my AirFryer!
Ooooh!! I have an Air Fryer! I *must* try this. Thank you!!
Lisa, you will love the AirFryer I have the one from Avalon Bay. You can purchase it on Amazon.
I can smell it from here 🙂 Love the look and I am sure it tastes excellent!
It was so yummy and I made it in no time!
I’ve never heard of an air fryer. As for apple pie, my mom’s is my favorite.
I love my AirFryer, it has replaced my over and deep fryer for so many recipes. I bet your mom’s is delicious, there is nothing like mom’s apple pie!
I need to try this! I use my air fryer a lot, but I’ve been thinking about new things to try in it.
It came out perfect! Just make sure you pre-heat it.
I have never heard of AirFryer! I am not a huge fan of apple pie, I can eat it with the crumble topping but I am more of a cherry pie person!
Although I have never made a cherry pie, I’m sure it would come out delicious in a AirFryer, also!
What kind of a pan do you use to make a pie. My airfryer is about six inches square. I was thinking of making a hand pie, something portable.
I used the pan that came as an accessory kit with my AirFryer. But, I’m sure that any oven safe pan that fits would work or foil molded to the shape of your AirFryer.
I used an aluminum Christmas Tree as a mold for my pie. It turned out perfectly, although next time I will use a crumble topping for the top layer. The apple pie was great.
What a great idea! I just love my AirFryer there are just so many things I can make in it! Merry Christmas!
Your recipe sounds delicious! I’m new to the Air Fryer, but am excited to give this a try using fresh peaches. How long would you suggest cooking 4 small pies in the Air Fryer? Thanks!
Kay, I love the idea of using peaches! I’m not sure of the size of your AirFryer. The AirFryer I use is able to fit 3 ramekins in it at a time. I think I would set the timer for 20 minutes and then check to see if the crust is cooked. Let me know how it turns out.
What size air fryer do you use?
It is a 3.7QT. Most of the time it is the perfect size for my family, but there is those times when I’m having a party that a larger one would come in handy.
doI have to defrost marie callendar frozen pie before I put it in my air fryer? how long does it have to cool? thanks Sue
Sue, I’ve never made a Marie Callender’s frozen pie in my air fryer. I tried to find some information for you about it, but I didn’t find any. I’m sorry I could not be of more help to you.
Just made the apple pie recipe listed. Fantastic. Changed the sugar part to a substitute. And a little flower in the apple mix for the liquid from the apples. And it came out fantastic.
I’m so glad you liked it and I love your changes! Thanks for letting me know the changes you made, I will be trying them out the next time I make it. Have a great day!
How about small frozen apple pies? Any advice?
Carol, I’ve never tried it, but I don’t see any reason it would not work in an air fryer. You would just have to pay around with what temperature setting and how long to keep it in, for your individual frozen pie.
I cook my marie calendars frozen apple pie preheated at 400 in the air fryer for 20-22 minutes (about half the recommended oven cooking time) and it comes out perfect every time
Linsey, I’m always amazed at how quickly the air fryer cooks frozen and non-frozen food. And, it always comes out tasting delicious!
Hi, have you ever tried pumpkin or sweet potato pie in the air fryer? I wanted to try for Thanksgiving.
Cassidy, I have not, but I can’t imagine it would be any different than cooking an apple pie.
Got mine for christmas. Baked a blackberry pie in it TODAY. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! I love my air Fryer! I’ve use it all most every day.
Hi…. new here. I used crescent rolls for the crust, had some left from a dinner recipe I made… found that the crust got nice and brown pretty fast, so I covered it with a saucer to keep it from getting too brown. I will try again with pie crust… thanks 🙂
Great sounding recipe just got a airfryer oven and was wondering how to bake a pie in it. All sorted now that I know how hot and how long thanks. Going with a rhubarb pie. Loving my airfryer so convenient for just the 2 of us. I can see the stove oven will become almost redundant and be saving on our power bill.
