    These Air Fryer Strawberry Turnovers are fun and easy to make. All you need is a pie crust, some fresh strawberries, and an air fryer and you can have these cute little pastries on your table in no time! You can also bake these hand pies in the oven.

    I love strawberries and I love my air fryer so naturally, I had to make a recipe that used both. These Air Fryer Strawberry Turnovers are so cute and delicious that you are going to want to make them all the time!

    You can make these hand-held treats with homemade pie crust or store-bought. You can also make these in the oven if you don't have an air fryer.

    If you are looking for more strawberry recipes, check out my Strawberry Ice Cream Cheesecake, Strawberry Elderflower Liqueur Cocktail, Instant Pot Strawberry Cheesecake, and my Dehydrated Strawberries.

    Ingredients Needed to Make Air Fryer Strawberry Turnovers

    • pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
    • fresh strawberries
    • sugar
    • vanilla
    • lemon zest
    • cornstarch
    • egg
    • coarse sugar for sprinkling

    How to Make Strawberry Turnovers in an Air Fryer

    1. Roll out the pie dough about ⅛" thick. Cut out 12 dough rounds.
    2. Add the chopped strawberries, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and cornstarch to a mixing bowl and gently stir to combine. Spoon 1-2 tablespoon of filling on each round.
    3. Brush the edges of the round with egg wash and fold it in half. Use a fork to crimp the edges closed. Repeat with all of the rounds. Use a sharp knife to cut 3 slits in the top of the turnovers. Brush the egg wash on top of the turnovers and sprinkle with sugar.
    4. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for a few minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Place the turnovers (5-6) in the basket and air fry for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

    Which Air Fryer I Use

    There are so many different types of air fryers out there now, and each one is slightly different. There are countertop air fryers, air fryer ovens, and air fryer attachments to name a few.

    Whatever air fryer you use, always remember to follow the instructions from your manufacturer and remember that every air fryer will cook a little differently so adjust accordingly.

    I have the COSORI Pro Air Fryer Oven Combo (shown below) and I love it. It does take up some counter space so make sure you have room for it. If you want a smaller option, check out the COSORI Small Air Fryer or an attachment for the Instant Pot.

    Buy on Amazon!

    No Air Fryer? No Problem!

    If you don't have an air fryer, you can still make these strawberry turnovers. Assemble the turnovers as described in the recipe card. Preheat the oven to 350 and place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Place the turnovers on the parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

    Equipment Needed to Make Air Fryer Fruit Pies

    I love this adjustable rolling pin because it takes the guesswork out of rolling out dough to a certain thickness.

    Buy on Amazon!

    You will need a round biscuit cutter to make your shapes (or you can use a round cup).

    Buy on Amazon!

    I also love this silicone pastry brush. You will find it useful for more than just baking!

    How to Store Strawberry Turnovers

    Store any leftover pastries in a sealed container in the fridge. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Tips for Making Hand Pies in the Air Fryer

    • When you are crimping these small treats some of the filling will most likely leak out. Don't panic, as long as most of it stays in the middle and you get a good seal, there will be no issues.
    • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of sugar in the filling based on how sweet or tart your strawberries are.
    • Since you brush the turnovers with egg wash, there is no need to spray them with non-stick spray as you would with other air fryer recipes. But don't forget to spray the basket so the pies don't stick to it!
    • Preheating the air fryer can make a difference. Preheating will help with even cooking and less wait time in the beginning. If you don’t preheat, the first batch will cook differently than the next, etc.
    • Tongs are also very useful since the air fryer gets HOT! Always be careful and use a utensil.
    • Remember to always read the instruction manual and follow what your manufacturer recommends.

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer
    • Rolling Pin
    • 4-5" round biscuit cutter
    • foil
    • non-stick spray
    • medium mixing bowl
    • small bowl for eggwash
    • pastry brush

    Ingredients

    • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
    • ¾ cup strawberries, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • zest of half a lemon
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • coarse sugar for sprinkling (I used crystal sprinkles)

    Instructions

    • Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface to about ⅛" thick. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out as many dough rounds as possible. If needed, take the scraps and form a new ball. Roll out the dough one more time and cut out more rounds until you have 12 total.

    • Preheat the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Place 5-6 turnovers in the basket (make sure there is room around each one for the hot air to circulate) and air fry for 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Use tongs to remove the pastries and place them on a wire rack or plate to cool. Repeat with remaining pies.
