I love that this makes a small pie, instead of one that gives us massive slices and a whole lot of leftovers. Sometimes less is more and it is really nice to have dessert for a Saturday night and we don’t feel like we have to eat the rest the next night too.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can this be made with another flavor of pie filling?

You can replace this cherry pie filling with any other canned pie filling available. If making this into an apple pie, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar over the top of the crust.

Can this be made with homemade crust?

Absolutely! We do that all the time using my Easy Pie Crust recipe. But we also like to keep things simple when using the air fryer – which is why we chose to use the pre-packaged crust for this one.

HOW DO YOU MAKE Easy Cherry Pie in the Air Fryer?

1. Defrost the refrigerated pie crust, and lay it out on a flat, floured work surface.
2. Roll out the thawed pie crust, and invert a shallow air fryer baking pan on top of the dough.
3. Cut around the pan, making your cut half an inch larger than the pan itself.
4. Repeat with the second pie crust, only make the cut the same size as or slightly smaller than the pan.
5. Lay out the larger crust in the bottom of the baking pan, pressing gently into the dough to conform to the pan shape.
6. Spoon in the cherry pie filling.
7. Place the smaller crust piece over the filling, and pinch the edges of each crust together.
8. Make a couple of cuts in the top of the dough.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
10. Brush the egg wash gently over the top of the pie.
11. Sprinkle with the raw sugar, and place the pan in the air fryer basket.
12. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and flaky on top. Look for bubbling pie filling coming through the slits on top of the pie.
13. Serve warm.
