🍎 Air Fryer Apple Pie Cinnamon Twists
🕒 Ready in: 20 minutes
🍽 Serves: 4–6
✅ Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup apple pie filling (chopped finely)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Vanilla glaze or caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
🧑🍳 Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Prepare filling mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the chopped apple pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. - Roll out puff pastry:
Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle (about 10×12 inches). - Spread filling:
Evenly spread the apple pie mixture over half of the pastry. Fold the other half over the top. - Cut and twist:
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 1-inch strips. Twist each strip a few times and gently press the ends so they hold. - Brush with butter:
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar if desired. - Air fry:
Place a few twists in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd). Cook at 375°F for 7–9 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. - Cool and serve:
Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze/caramel if you like.
💡 Tips
- Make it easier: Use store-bought apple pie filling, but chop it small so the twists don’t split open.
- Storage: Best enjoyed warm, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer.
- Add nuts: Finely chopped pecans or walnuts go great with the filling.
