Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
- 8 ounces Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
- 1 cup apple pie filling, cut into small bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (one stick)
Instructions
- Prepare Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and apple pie spice. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Prepare the Dough: Open the can of biscuits and carefully split each biscuit in half to make 16 circles. Flatten each circle into a thin round shape, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Mix Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the apple pie filling with the cinnamon to ensure the apple pieces are evenly coated.
- Assemble the Pockets: Place a spoonful of the apple filling mixture in the center of each dough circle, leaving a ¼ inch border around the edges. Gather and pinch the edges of the dough to seal and create small pockets.
- Air Fry: Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper or brush lightly with olive oil. Place the pockets in the basket, ensuring they do not touch to avoid sticking. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Coating: Once cooked, dip each pocket into melted butter, then roll in the prepared sugar and spice mixture until fully coated.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
