- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed at room temperature
- 2 medium apples
- 1 Tablespoon butter Use plant based to make it vegan
- ½ cup raw sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon corn starch or all-purpose flour. Mix with 2 Tablespoon water
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Start by making the apple pie filling. Peel the apples and remove the core and seeds. Cut them into bite size pieces. Mix cornstarch with water.
Warm up the butter in a skillet. Add apples, sugar, cornstarch mixture, cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes or until apples are soft and tender. Let the apple mixture cool completely.
Dust the working space with little flour and then roll thawed puff pastry into 3 parts. Cut into your desired shape - square, rectangle, round or triangle.
Grease the air fryer basket with oil spray. (You can also use perforated parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent it from sticking)
Arrange the cut up puff pastry pieces on the air fryer basket in a single layer. Leave space between them so the hot air can circulate. Spoon cooked apple mixture over the cut pastry pieces. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top for extra sweetness.
Air fry at 375 Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes checking once halfway through. Pastry will puff up and get golden brown when ready.
Serve warm. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The apple filling will be very hot inside.
