🫐🍰 Air Fryer Blueberry Cheesecake Hand Pies
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (usually 2 crusts per pack), thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For assembly:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare blueberry filling:
In a small bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside. - Prepare cheesecake filling:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. - Cut dough:
Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4–5 inch circles or squares (use a biscuit cutter or knife). - Assemble pies:
On half of the dough pieces, spread about 1 tbsp cheesecake filling, then top with about 1 tbsp blueberry filling. Leave a border around the edges. - Seal pies:
Brush edges with beaten egg, then place another dough piece on top. Press edges firmly with a fork to seal. - Air fry:
Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place pies in the basket (do not overcrowd). Air fry for 8–10 minutes, until golden and puffed. You may need to do batches. - Cool & serve:
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temp.
Tips:
- Use frozen blueberries but thaw and drain excess juice to avoid soggy pies.
- Swap blueberries for strawberries, cherries, or apples for variety.
- Want a crispier crust? Brush with melted butter before air frying.
