Ingredients
Scale
- 1 16.3 oz (462 g) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers biscuits (8 large biscuits; Sweet Hawaiian, Honey Butter, or Original flavor)
- 1 cup (240 ml) apple pie filling (from a 20 oz/567 g can)
- ⅓ cup (76 g) butter
- ½ cup (100 g) cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preparation: Melt butter in microwave, creating a smooth liquid. Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly in a small bowl to form a uniform coating blend.
- Filling Preparation: Dice apples into consistent half-inch cubes, ensuring even distribution of fruit within each pastry pocket. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for optimal cooking performance.
- Dough Manipulation: Separate refrigerated biscuits and roll each into 3.5-inch diameter circular shapes. Centrally place one rounded tablespoon of apple filling on each circular dough piece.
- Pastry Assembly: Carefully fold dough edges toward the center, sealing the filling completely to create compact pastry parcels. Dip each parcel first in melted butter, then thoroughly coat with cinnamon sugar mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- Cooking Process: Spray air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange pastries with sealed side down, ensuring they do not touch each other. Cook for 7 minutes until achieving a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Serving: Transfer freshly cooked apple pie delights to serving plate. Continue preparing remaining biscuit parcels using identical technique. Serve immediately to preserve warmth and textural integrity.
Notes
- Butter Softening Tip: Microwave butter in short bursts to prevent overheating, ensuring smooth, even melting without scorching.
- Apple Preparation Hack: Cut apples uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent uneven texture in the filling.
- Sealing Technique: Press biscuit edges firmly and completely to prevent filling leakage during air frying, creating a perfect pastry seal.
- Coating Trick: Double-dip pastries in butter and cinnamon sugar for an extra crispy, caramelized exterior that enhances overall flavor and texture.
