Chop the Honeycrisp apples.

Place chopped apples in a saute pan over medium heat.

Add butter and sugar to the pan with the apples.

Add pumpkin pie spice to the apple mixture.

Cook until apples are soft and tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Mix water and corn starch until smooth, then pour into the pan to thicken the mixture for about a minute.

Set the apple mixture aside to chill.

Roll out the puff pastry to an even thickness.

Cut the pastry into six equal-sized rectangles.

Add a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling to half of the rectangles.

Wet the edges of the pastry with water, place another rectangle on top, and seal with fingers.

Crimp the edges with a fork to prevent leaking.

Spray the tops of the pies with cooking spray for crispiness.

Score the top of the pastry to let out steam.

Air fry the pies until golden brown.

In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar, whisking for about two minutes until combined and bubbling.

Add milk to the mixture and bring to a boil while whisking.

Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.

Sift in powdered sugar and whisk until smooth and glossy.

Drizzle the icing over the cooled pies.
