What you need to create this Nutella air fryer recipe
You only need five ingredients plus your air fryer and a few other tools you already have in your kitchen to make these mini Nutella pies. Here are the ingredients you’ll need on hand to make chocolate hand pies:
- 1 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup Nutella
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
How to make Nutella hand pies
To make this Nutella air fryer recipe, start by rolling out each circle of the prepared pie dough onto 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). Tip: 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 of 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 your Nutella hand pies, then use a fork to crimp the edges to secure them further. Add a slit in the top of the crust with a sharp knife, then repeat the process with the remaining dough circles until you have 8 round chocolate hand pies.
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray the air fryer basket with butter-flavored cooking spray. Place the Nutella hand pies in the basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer). Spray the tops of the easy chocolate hand pies with more cooking spray.
Cook the mini Nutella pies in the air fryer until golden brown (about 9 minutes).
Meanwhile, mix sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl to make a yummy sugar topping for the Nutella air fryer recipe. When the hand pies are done cooking, remove from the air fryer and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Spray the tops of the chocolate hand pies with more butter-flavored cooking spray before dipping the pies into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat generously.
