Pie in an air fryer
Description
You may need slightly less or slightly more baking time than I indicated—it depends on the power of your air fryer and the material your pan is made of, so at about the 40-minute mark peek into the bowl and judge the doneness of your pie by its appetizing golden-brown crust and the dry-toothpick test. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
