Do you enjoy eating a traditional slice of fruit pie? If so, you’re going to love these Air Fryer Lemon Hand Pies that you can make with ease.

With only four ingredients and one important tool, you can prepare the hand pies, place them in the air fryer to cook for a minimum of six minutes and a maximum of eight minutes, cover in the icing, and then enjoy while they’re still warm.

What Are Hand Pies?

Hand pies are a convenient dessert that you can fit in the palm of your hand. While traditional pies have the crust underneath, hand pies have rust on both the top and bottom with the fresh, warm filling in the middle. Some people call them pastelillos or empanadas, but you can also call them hand pies.

Can I use sugar-free lemon pie filling?

If you’d like to watch your sugar intake or even lower the number of calories in this recipe, you can use sugar-free lemon pie filling.

However, if you’re not concerned about sugar or calories, stick with the traditional can of lemon pie filling to enjoy the natural sweetness and flavor it provides.

Which icing should I use?

You can prepare homemade icing using milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract for something light, sweet, and perfect to pair with the Lemon Hand Pies. If not, consider using a vanilla icing that you can generously apply on top of your hand pies.

If you like the taste of chocolate combined with the flavor of the lemon filling, it’s fine to use some chocolate icing on your hand pies.

Prepare, Heat, and Eat

First, you’ll grab the biscuit dough and use a cookie cutter or other kitchen tool to remove the center from each piece of dough! You can cook those center sections after preparing the donuts to make some donut holes, so you won’t have to worry about any food going to waste. 

Once you’re ready, pop your dough in the air fryer and let it cook for up to six minutes before removing the cooked dough and placing it on a cooling rack! 

While you have the donuts off to the side, prepare your melted butter and bowl of cinnamon with sugar. You’ll need to cover the donuts in butter before quickly dipping them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. It’s that simple!

Can I make a glaze for the donuts?

If you’d like to make a glaze for the donuts, you can do that by combining confectioners’ sugar with heavy cream and a bit of vanilla extract. However, you don’t need a glaze for these donuts because the melted butter and cinnamon sugar give them such an excellent taste.
