Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) apple pie filling, cut into small bite-sized pieces
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¾ cup (150 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) cinnamon
Fat and Liquid:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted (one stick)
Instructions
- Craft a delectable sugar and spice blend by gently mixing granulated sugar with aromatic apple pie spice, setting it aside for the final touch.
- Carefully separate each refrigerated biscuit into two thin rounds, gently pressing and stretching each piece to create delicate 3-4 inch circular bases.
- Transform the apple pie filling by folding ground cinnamon throughout, ensuring each fruit morsel is beautifully seasoned and evenly distributed.
- Center a generous spoonful of spiced apple mixture onto each dough round, maintaining a small border to facilitate sealing.
- Delicately fold and crimp the edges of each pocket, pinching and pressing to create secure, compact parcels that prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Prepare the air fryer by lining the basket with perforated parchment paper or applying a light olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the assembled pockets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow proper circulation and even browning.
- Cook the pockets at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes, monitoring until they transform into golden, puffy pastries with crisp edges.
- Immediately after cooking, brush each pocket with melted butter, then roll in the reserved sugar and spice mixture for a sweet, aromatic coating.
Notes
- Quick and easy dessert that transforms simple biscuits into crispy, sweet apple-filled pockets in minutes.
- Make sure to split biscuits carefully to create thin, even circles for the perfect pocket size.
- Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during air frying, using pinching technique for secure closure.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and golden-brown crispy texture.
- Use perforated parchment paper or light oil spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Serve warm for maximum enjoyment, with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
