Description

A quick and easy air fryer cherry pie with a golden, flaky crust and sweet cherry filling — a homemade-style dessert ready in about 40 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 2 pie crusts, frozen, thawed, or homemade
  • 42 ounces cherry pie filling
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Leave the frozen pie crusts out for about 10 minutes, until the dough is pliable.
  • Press one crust into the bottom of a pie pan and fill it with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
  • Cover with the second crust. Seal the edges and cut a few small slits to vent steam, or weave a lattice top if you prefer.
  • Whisk the egg yolk with the milk and brush it over the top crust.
  • Place the pie into the air fryer (you may need to remove the basket to fit it) and cook at 310°F for 10 minutes. Check it and add time as needed — usually about 5 more minutes — until the crust is light golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Timing varies by air fryer wattage and pie thickness.
  • Let cool a few minutes before slicing.

Equipment

Notes

  • Pan fit: Use a pie pan that fits inside your air fryer basket. You may need to remove the basket to lower it in.
  • Crust: Store-bought thawed crust keeps this easy, but homemade pie crust works too. Keep the dough chilled until you assemble for the flakiest result.
  • Cook time varies: Air fryer wattage and pie thickness affect timing. Start checking at 10 minutes and add time in 2–3 minute intervals until the crust is light golden and the filling bubbles.
  • Browning too fast? Loosely tent the top with foil while the filling finishes cooking.
  • Cool before slicing: Let the pie rest a few minutes so the filling sets, or it will run.
  • Fresh cherries: To swap the canned filling, toss pitted fresh cherries with sugar, cornstarch, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Storage: Room temp up to 2 days, fridge up to 5 days, or freeze (baked or unbaked) up to 3 months.
