How to make apple pie in the air fryer
Ingredients:
For mass:
1 cup of wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
2-3 tablespoons of ice water
For the filling:
4 apples, peeled, peeled and cut into thin slices
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. You may need 2-3 tablespoons of water to get the right consistency.
Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is in the refrigerator, combine the apple slices, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice in a bowl.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until you have a circle large enough to line the bottom and sides of an Airfryer pie dish.
Place the dough into the pie pan and press it against the bottom and sides.
Pour the apple mixture over the dough.
Preheat your Airfryer to 180°C.
Place the pie dish with the dough and filling in the Airfryer and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the apples are soft.
Remove the pie from the Airfryer and let it cool slightly before serving.
You can serve this apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
Tips for making apple pie in the air fryer
Here are some tips for making an apple pie in the Airfryer:
Choose the Right Apples: Use apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Fuji or Gala apples. They have a firm texture and a sweet, tart flavor that works well in pies.
Prepare the Dough Ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps relax the dough, making it easier to handle.
Roll Out the Dough Carefully: Roll out the dough on a floured surface, using a rolling pin. Try to maintain an even thickness so the pie cooks evenly.
Use Parchment Paper: Line the bottom of the Airfryer pie pan with parchment paper before adding the dough. This makes it easier to remove the pie from the pan after baking.
Avoid Excess Liquid: To prevent the pie from becoming soggy, you can sprinkle a little breadcrumbs on the bottom of the dough before adding the apple filling.
Prick the Dough: Poke a few holes in the bottom of the dough with a fork before adding the apple filling. This will help release steam during cooking and prevent the dough from puffing up.
Adjust the Temperature and Time: The time and temperature may vary depending on the brand and model of your Airfryer. Start with a moderate temperature (e.g. 180°C) and adjust the time as needed. Check the pie periodically to ensure it is not burning.
Browning the Pie: If your pie is not browned enough on top, you can use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of beaten egg yolk over the pastry before baking for a few more minutes.
Let the Pie Rest: After removing the pie from the Airfryer, let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting it. This will allow the filling to stabilize and make cutting easier.
Vary the Flavors: Feel free to add extra ingredients to the filling, like raisins, chopped nuts, or even a splash of rum or brandy for extra flavor.
Remember that cooking temperatures and times may vary depending on your Airfryer model, so it's a good idea to consult the manufacturer's manual for specific guidelines.
