Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies Recipe [Video]

In this delightful video, we take you through the step-by-step process of making scrumptious cherry hand pies in an air fryer. These golden pastries are filled with juicy cherries, encased in a crisp, buttery pastry that is both quick and easy to prepare.

We begin by preparing a luscious cherry filling, using fresh or frozen cherries sweetened with a hint of sugar and a sprinkle of cornstarch to thicken. While the filling cools, we roll out store-bought puff pastry into perfect circles, ready to embrace the sweet fruit.

Once assembled, these charming hand pies are brushed with an egg wash for that irresistible golden finish and then popped into the air fryer. In mere minutes, you'll have perfectly baked pies that are crispy on the outside and deliciously gooey on the inside.

Serve them warm, dusted with icing sugar or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat that’s bound to impress. Join us in the kitchen to discover how easy it is to create these mouthwatering cherry hand pies using your air fryer!

Indulging in a delightful Air Fryer Cherry Crisp is a brilliant way to enjoy the succulent sweetness of cherries with a crispy twist. The cherries, bursting with flavour, are gently mixed with a hint of sugar and a splash of lemon juice, then layered at the bottom of a small baking dish. To achieve the perfect crunchy topping, a simple blend of oats, flour, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon is combined with a knob of cold butter, creating a crumbly mixture.

Once assembled, the dish is popped into the air fryer, where it develops a golden, crisp texture in a fraction of the time it would take in a conventional oven. The result? A warm, comforting dessert with luscious cherries and a satisfying crunch, best enjoyed with a generous scoop of clotted cream or a dollop of custard. It’s an effortless yet impressive treat that’s perfect for any occasion, and a delightful way to savour the season’s bounty.

Apple Cherry Fritters Recipe

These delightful apple cherry fritters are the perfect treat for any occasion, combining the sweet and tangy flavours of fresh apples and cherries encased in a golden, crispy batter.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium apples, peeled, core removed, and diced
• 150g fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 200g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 150ml milk
• 50g sugar
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and sugar until well combined.
2. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the diced apples and halved cherries gently to incorporate without overmixing.
3. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to drop generous portions of the batter into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
4. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Dust with icing sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Enjoy these scrumptious fritters warm, perhaps alongside a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Perfect for an afternoon tea or a comforting dessert!
