Nutella Hand Pies (air fryer chocolate hand pie recipe)

nutella

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: chocolate spread

Almond butter is a healthier option, while chocolate spread can be more affordable.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: homemade crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while homemade crust can save money.

Roll out each circle of pie dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles into the dough using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to make 16 circles (8 from each dough round). If you don't have a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter, you can use the mouth of a large cup or wide-mouth jar.

Moisten the edge of a circle with water, then add 2 tablespoons Nutella in the center, leaving the edges bare.

Place another dough circle on top of the filling and pinch the edges of the two dough rounds together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to secure them further. Add a slit in the top of the crust with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining dough circles until you have 8 round pies.

Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place pies in the basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Spray the tops of the pies with more cooking spray.

Cook in the air fryer until golden brown, about 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.

When the hand pies are done cooking, remove from the air fryer and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Spray the tops with more butter-flavored cooking spray before dipping the hand pies into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat generously.
