Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 4 Apples
- 50 g Butter with salt (4tbsps)
- 60 g Sugar (4tbsps)
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamom
- 2 Puff Pastry
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoon Flaked almonds
Instructions
- Keep the puff pastry sheets out to thaw. Don't remove the butter paper.
- Melt the butter in a pan and add the diced apples. Cook until the apples start to soften.
- Add the sugar and cinnamon and cook until the apples are nicely caramelized.
- Remove from the heat and let the filling cool completely before assembling the pies.
- Mark one pastry sheet into 9 equal squares without removing the paper underneath. Set it aside.
- Spread the cooled caramelized apple filling over the other pastry sheet, leaving a little space around the edges.
- Place the marked pastry sheet on top and remove the butter paper.
- Cut the pastry into individual squares, then carefully lift and separate each pie from the butter paper underneath.
- Adjust the filling inside each pie as needed, remove any excess or add a little more if required.
- Press the edges together with your fingers to seal the filling inside.
- Prick the top of each pie with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Then, gently press around the edges with a fork to create little impressions and further seal the pies.
- Transfer the pies to a lined baking tray.
- Brush each pie with beaten egg, then sprinkle with almond flakes and sugar.
- Place the prepared pies in the refrigerator and chill for about 10 minutes.
- Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 10–15 minutes in a preheated air fryer, or until the pastry is beautifully puffed and golden brown.
- Let the apple pies cool slightly before serving, as the apple filling will be very hot!

Notes
- Avoid overcooking the apples, as they can become too sticky and difficult to work with when filling the pies.
- Cool the apple filling before assembling.
- Don't overfill the pastry.
- Seal the edges tightly; otherwise, pies will open while baking.
- Chilling before air frying helps the pastry hold its shape and gives you a lovely flaky texture.
- For an eggless option, brush the pastry with milk instead of egg wash.
