These come in a box and go straight from the freezer to the air fryer. The air fryer makes fruit hand pies flakier than an oven because the convection heat hits frozen pastry directly. Here are the cook times.
Ingredients
- Frozen store-bought fruit hand pies or turnovers (Pepperidge Farm apple turnovers, etc.)
Steps
- 01Place the frozen pies or turnovers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not thaw.
- 02Leave space between them because the pastry puffs.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes before eating. The fruit filling is lava-hot when it comes out.
These come in a box and go straight from the freezer to the air fryer. No prep, no thawing, no egg wash needed. The air fryer makes the pastry flakier than an oven because the convection heat hits from all sides. The filling will be significantly hotter than the pastry feels on the outside. Break one open and let it breathe before biting in.
