Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bites – Easy Bite-Sized Treat!
I love cherry pie, but I don’t always want to deal with making a full one from scratch. That’s where these air fryer cherry pie bites come in. They’re super simple but still give you that flaky crust and gooey cherry center you expect from a classic pie.
I use Grands biscuits because they are easy to pull apart and make the perfect dough for quick hand pies. A spoonful of cherry pie filling, fold it over, seal the edges, and into the air fryer they go. Ten minutes later, I have warm, golden mini pies – and the powdered sugar glaze makes them feel just a bit more special without any extra work.

How to Make Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bites
Here are the ingredients you need to make these air fryer cherry pie bites, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tsp milk
Step by Step Instructions
1. Gently split each Grands biscuit in half along the flaky layers (this will give you 16 pieces total). Roll out and flatten each piece into a small circle, about 3 to 4 inches wide. You want it flat enough to hold the filling but not too thin that it tears.
2. Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling into the center of each dough round – about 2 to 3 cherries and a little bit of the syrup. Don’t overfill, or they will be hard to seal and might burst in the air fryer.
3. Carefully gather the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch them closed at the top to seal. You’re aiming for a rough ball shape, with all the seams pinched together on top. It’s okay if they’re not perfect, just make sure they are sealed so the filling stays inside.
4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Place the sealed bites seam-side up in the basket, making sure they’re not touching. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches – mine fits 8 at a time comfortably.
5. Set your air fryer to 350°F. Cook the cherry pie bites for 5 minutes, then gently flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes. They should be golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
6. Remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack or plate. While they’re cooling, mix together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until you have a smooth glaze. Drizzle it over the warm cherry pie bites and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve and enjoy!
These little bites come together fast, and they disappear even faster. The air fryer gives them that perfect crispy edge, and the cherry filling makes them feel like a classic dessert in a fun, snackable form. Keep some biscuit dough and pie filling on hand, and you’re always just a few minutes away from a warm, sweet treat.
