Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Granny Smith apples - peeled and cored
1 store-bought refrigerated pie crust
5 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon - divided
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter - divided
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Peel and core the four apples.
  • In a bowl, add the sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and stir to combine.
  • Roll out one pie crust until you have a large square. Cut the pie crust into four equal squares.
  • Place one apple in the center of one of the squares. Take one tablespoon of the butter and cut it into four equal parts. Place 1/4 Tbsp. butter into the center of the apple. Then, spoon a heaping teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of the butter in the center of the apple.
  • Next, grab the opposite end corners of the pie crust square and pull them up to meet on the top of the apple. Pinch to seal the corners together. Do the same with the other opposite corners, bringing them up to meet on the top of the apple and pinch to seel together. Using your fingers, pinch the dough together down the apples' sides so that the apple is fully enclosed in the pie crust dough.
  • Continue this process with the remaining three apples.
  • Grease the bottom of your air fryer basket, then carefully place the apple dumplings into the basket. Depending on your basket size, all four may not fit, and you may have to cook these in two batches.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apple feels soft. You can test the apple by carefully poking a knife or fork into the dumpling. If the top is browning too fast, you can cover the top by adhering a small piece of foil over the top of the dumpling with a toothpick.
  • While the dumplings are cooking, heat the brown sugar, water, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and 3 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium heat - occasionally stirring until everything is combined.
  • When done, remove the apple dumplings from the air fryer, top with the cinnamon-sugar glaze, and serve immediately.

Air Fryer Apple Dumplings Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-7198

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 very small apples
2 tablespoons raisins or sultanas
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 sheets puff pastry
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Core and peel the apples. Mix the raisins or sultanas and the brown sugar together in a bowl. Put each apple on 1 of the puff pastry sheets then fill the core with the raisins or sultanas and sugar mixture. Fold the pastry around the apple so it is fully covered. Place the apple dumplings on a small sheet of foil, so if any juices escape they don't fall into the air fryer. Brush the dough with the melted butter. Place in your air fryer and set the timer for 25 minutes and bake the apple dumplings until golden brown and the apples are soft. Turn the apples over once during cooking so that they will cook evenly. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the apple dumplings with melted butter before air frying.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the apple dumplings in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve the apple dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat pastry dough and unsweetened applesauce.
  • You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or nutmeg to the apples before wrapping them in the dough.
