Let’s air fry mince pies. Start by making your pastry (follow our air fryer pie crust recipe) and then flour your rolling pin and pastry and roll out. Or alternatively roll out puff pastry. Next use a round cookie cutter and cut out 6 round circles of the pastry.
Then gently place a round inside each of your pudding tins and push down so that you have plenty of space for your mincemeat.
Then using a teaspoon add two heaped teaspoons of the mincemeat into each of the pies.
This is how the mincemeat should look in your pastry as you don’t want to add too much.
Next roll out the leftover pastry and cut using a heart cutter or star cutter and make 6 of them ready to go over the mincemeat.
Then place a heart over each of the mince pies. Followed by brushing the hearts with egg wash to help with the golden mince pie colour.
Place the pudding tins loaded with mince pies into the air fryer basket and air fry for 12 minutes at 180c/360f or until the pastry is cooked and the mincemeat is heated through.
Then allow to cool before removing the mince pies from the pudding tins.
For a final touch sprinkle the tops of the mince pies with icing sugar/confectioners sugar.
