Air Fryer Marie Callender’s Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 (9-inch) frozen Marie Callender’s Dutch Apple Pie

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Since air fryer sizes and wattages vary, consult your owner’s manual for preheating recommendations.
  2. Unwrap the frozen pie and carefully remove any plastic wrapping. Leave the pie in its aluminum tin for air frying.
  3. Place the pie in the air fryer basket. Make sure there’s enough space for air to circulate around the pie. If your air fryer is small, you might need to cook the pie in batches.
  4. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Check the pie halfway through cooking and rotate the basket if necessary to ensure even browning.
  5. Let the pie cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. The filling will be very hot, so be careful!

Tips:

  • For an extra crispy crust, lightly spray the top of the pie with cooking oil before air frying.
  • If your air fryer has a tendency to run hot, you can reduce the cooking temperature to 325°F (165°C). Just be sure to increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
  • Want to add a decadent touch? Serve your air-fried pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

FAQs about Air Fryer Marie Callender’s Dutch Apple Pie

Can I cook a homemade apple pie in the air fryer?

Absolutely! While this recipe focuses on the convenience of a frozen Marie Callender’s pie, you can certainly air fry a homemade apple pie using a similar method. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your crust and the size of your pie.

Is it safe to cook the aluminum pie tin in the air fryer?

Yes, most aluminum pie tins are safe for air frying. However, it’s always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific pie tin.

My pie filling is bubbling over! What should I do?

If the filling starts to bubble over excessively, you can carefully remove the pie from the air fryer and place it on a heat-resistant plate for a few minutes. Then, return it to the air fryer to finish cooking.

My pie crust isn’t browning. What’s wrong?

There could be a few reasons why your crust isn’t browning. First, make sure your air fryer is preheated to the correct temperature. Second, you might need to increase the cooking time by a few minutes. Finally, some air fryers don’t brown food as well as others. In this case, you can try brushing the crust with a little bit of melted butter or egg wash before air frying.
