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

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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’ll be hard to seal and might burst in the air fryer.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve and enjoy.
