Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make a batch of apple pie bites in the airfryer.

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon*
• 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg*
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice*
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves*
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger*
• 1 can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits

How to Make Air Fryer Apple Pie Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Spice Mixture In a small bowl, combine the sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and ginger. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits Open the can of biscuits and separate all 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit in half, creating 16 smaller biscuits. Roll out each biscuit with a rolling pin or flatten it with your hands to form small circles.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling Place the chopped apple pie filling in a medium-sized bowl and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Fill the Biscuits Place a spoonful of the apple cinnamon filling into the center of each circle of dough, leaving about 1/4 inch around the edges. Pinch the edges together to form small round balls.

Step 5: Air Fry the Apple Bites Place a piece of parchment paper with holes in the air fryer basket, or lightly brush the basket with oil. Arrange half of the apple bites seam side up in the air fryer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook on the “Bake” setting or at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, then carefully flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining apple bites.

Step 6: Coat the Apple Bites Once cooked, coat each apple bite in the melted butter, then toss in the sugar and spice mixture until fully coated.
