I have a thing for tiny foods. Not only are they absurdly cute, but I am also utterly convinced they taste better than their larger counterparts. A slice of blueberry pie is great, but a golden crunchy bite-sized Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pie is so much better. Who’s with me?
And the fact that I can make them using my beloved air fryer means I can enjoy scrumptious vanilla sugar fruity pastries in a fraction of the time baking a traditional pie requires.
And since this air fryer hand pie recipe is much healthier than frying them in tons of oil, it is a perfect kid-friendly breakfast or after-school snack. My mini chefs love helping me make these blueberry hand pies too. Getting to crimp the edges to seal the pies is their very favorite part.
