Equipment

1 air fryer

Ingredients

1 tube crescent rolls refrigerated, 8 in each roll, makes 4 total
1 can pie filling we used apple
1/4 c frosting
1/2 c caramel sauce optional to pour over the top when done

Instructions

Unroll crescent rolls. Separate 2 pieces linked together so you have a rectangle with 2 triangle pieces attached. Use fingers to close perforations so it is one solid rectangular piece.
Scoop 3 slices of apples from pie filling can out and put near the end of your rectangle, about 1" back from the end.
Fold long end over the top of apples and seal the 3 open ends well.
Measure out a piece of parchment paper that fits inside your air fryer basket. Put your sealed hand pie on top. Do this to make 1 more and use a fork to poke gently on top of each one.
Put 2 hand pies on parchment paper inside air fryer basket. Close and set to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Open, use a spatula to flip over. Close basket again and cook at 350 F for another 3 minutes or until browned as you'd like.
Remove, cool for a bit and squeeze frosting on the top. If you want it more like a moist gooey dumpling you can pour caramel sauce on the top to make the outside wet.
