Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 2 pie crusts (premade or homemade double pie crust recipe)
Filling
- 63 mini marshmallows
- 2 Hershey’s chocolate bars
Topping
- 2 graham crackers
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of water
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature before cooking the hand pies.
- Prepare Pie Crust Circles: Roll out the pie crusts on a flat surface and use a 3½-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 14 circles from the dough.
- Add Chocolate: Place 7 circles of pie crust on the surface and evenly distribute 3 pieces of Hershey’s chocolate on each circle.
- Add Marshmallows: Top each chocolate layer with 9 mini marshmallows to create a gooey filling.
- Seal Pies: Place the remaining 7 dough circles on top of each pie, then seal the edges using a fork. Cut 4 small slits on the top of each pie crust to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and teaspoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the tops of each pie to create a golden, shiny finish.
- Add Graham Cracker Crumbs: Crush the graham crackers finely using a bag or food processor, then sprinkle the crumbs over the tops of the pies for added texture and flavor.
- Cook Pies: Place the assembled pies in the preheated air fryer and cook for 6 minutes or until the crusts turn golden brown and the filling is melted.
Notes
- Use a gentle hand when sealing the pies to prevent juice leakage during cooking.
- If you don’t have mini marshmallows, chop regular marshmallows into smaller pieces.
- Preheating the air fryer helps ensure even cooking and crispy crust.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer for best results.
