I love making hand pies. They are simple to make and you can make them sweet or savory. You can make them with anything from pizza ingredients, apples, pears, cherries, chicken, pork, cabbage, potatoes and roast beef. You can even make hand pies with anything from
Mexican, African or Carribean flavors.

So many options, those are just a small handful.

Set out the pie dough to bring it to room temperature

Unroll the pie dough and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 20 circles

Place 10 of the pie dough circles on a flat surface
Spoon a small amount of pumpkin mixture into the center of each pie circle

Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of each pie dough circle
Place the remaining 10 circles on top of the pumpkin mixture

Use a fork to seal the pumpkin pies by pressing the fork around the edge of each circle

Place three to four pies in the basket of the air fryer, making sure the pies don’t touch as they cook
Cook the pies at 360 degrees for 14 to 16 minutes, flipping the pies halfway through. Continue cooking in batches until all the pies are cooked

When all of the pies are finished cooking it is time to make the glaze.

Can I Freeze These Hand Pies?

Yes! If you wanted to make these for now and save some for later in the year, you absolutely can. You will want to freeze the hand pies without the glaze.

Place them on a sheet tray and let them freeze for about two to four hours. You want to make sure that they do not stick together later.

After the time in the freezer on the sheet pan, you can now put them in a baggie or container for later cooking.

Let it thaw about half way before placing in the air fryer.
