Air Fryer Pie, a classic Italian dessert perfect for breakfast or snack. You can fill the pie cooked in the air fryer with your favorite homemade jam or marmalade to make it even tastier. I used strawberry jam, but if you like, you can also use Nutella or custard. To prepare the pie crust, you can use a stand mixer or knead by hand as I did; it’s really simple. The pie cooked in the air fryer will have uniform cooking if you use a perforated tart pan that’s also great for oven baking. The cooking time for the pie in the air fryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use. This is the air fryer I use.

How to prepare the Air Fryer Pie
Let’s start preparing the Air Fryer Pie. Pour the sifted powdered sugar into a bowl,
the flour,
the cold butter cut into cubes,
a pinch of salt
and a teaspoon of vanilla essence,
work everything until you get a sandy mixture.
Add the egg,
and continue kneading until you get a firm and shiny dough.
Transfer the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin, then let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
After resting in the refrigerator, take the pie crust and place it on the tart pan, remove the excess and press it well on the bottom and sides.
Pour the jam and level it well, I made a nice thick layer of about 0.4 inches,
with the leftover dough, cut strips to decorate the pie
Decorate the pie with strips of pie crust or with other pie crust decorations as you prefer.
Place the pie in the air fryer basket and bake at 320°F for 20 minutes.
Once cooked, sprinkle the pie with powdered sugar.
