Air Fryer Apple Turnovers

These melt in your mouth air fryer apple turnovers are made with just a handful of ingredients in under 15 minutes.

I truly live for easy, semi-homemade recipes. And if it involves my air fryer and some puff pastry, you can count me in! The last time I air fried puff pastry was when I made Air Fryer Toaster Strudel and it was an absolute hit. But, now that fall is here, I really wanted to make some delicious apple recipes and what better way to start than with these tasty air fryer turnovers packed with apple filling and topped with homemade vanilla icing. And since Halloween is around the corner, I strongly recommend saving this recipe for Air Fryer Twix Cupcakes because it’ll be a great way to use up leftover candy.

Let’s Talk About The Ingredients

• Puff Pastry Sheets – Thaw the puff pastry before starting.
• Canned Apple Pie Filling – I used canned because I wanted to make this recipe as easy as possible but you can make homemade filling if you prefer.
• Apple Pie Spice – Mix together the apple filling with apple pie spice.
• Egg – Beat the egg and water together to make egg wash.

Add the filling to each of the pastries and close by pressing together the opposite edges.

How To Make Air Fryer Apple Turnovers

1. First, start by preheating the air fryer to 365 degrees F for 5 minutes.
2. In a bowl, beat the egg and water together to make the egg wash.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the apple pie filling and apple pie spice.
4. Place the puff pastry sheets over parchment paper and cut each pastry sheet into 6 even sized pieces.
5. Brush the edges of each pastry with the egg wash.
6. Add about 1 – 1 1/2 tbsp of the apple pie filling to each pastry. Do not over fill.
7. Bring together two opposite corners of the pastry and press together to close.
8. Brush each turnover with more egg wash.
9. Place parchment paper inside the air fryer and spray with non stick baking spray.
10. Transfer the turnovers to the air fryer and cook at 365 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
11. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and heavy cream. Whisk together to combine.
12. Top the turnovers with homemade vanilla icing and serve.

Baking Instructions

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these apple turnovers at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Serving

You can serve these delicious air fried turnovers with some vanilla ice cream. Make sure they’re still warm and trust me it is so good. Drizzle some caramel sauce on top for an even better treat.

Storing Suggestions

Store leftover apple turnovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Once ready to enjoy again, warm them up in the air fryer at a low temperature like 300 degrees F for a few minutes or until heated through.

Recipe Notes

• I recommend serving with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce if you have them on hand.
• Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions before using.
• Apple pie spice can be found at most grocery stores in the spice aisle or in the seasonal aisle during the fall season. You can also purchase it here if you can’t find any.
