Tips on How to Make Air Fryer Mini Pumpkin Pies

  • Every model of air fryer cooks a little differently. So after you make your first batch, you’ll know better on what time is best for your specific air fryer model.
  • This recipe is for 6 mini-pumpkin pies. If you have a small air fryer you will have to cook in batches.
  • If you have an countertop oven-style air fryer with 2 shelves, just cook on one shelf at a time. Air frying the pies on 2 different shelves will results in un-even cooking. The top shelf will always cook hotter and quicker. So place the shelf in the middle of the air fryer and cook in that middle shelf position. It’s better to cook the pies in 2 batches if needed.
  • When the pies are just slightly jiggly or still un-cooked in the center, just keep the pies in the hot air fryer. Turn off the air fryer. Allow the mini-pies to continue cooking in the residual heat. This will help cook the center of the pies without drying out the top from.

Can you freeze these mini pies?

Yes you can! Just make sure they’ve fully cooled. Then seal them in air tight container or bags. When serving again, allow them to thaw completely for a few hours. If you want to warm them up a bit, remove them from the tin foil base. Place the pie on a plate and microwave it. Sure, you can re-heat them in the air fryer but be careful to not dry them out. That’s why we like to re-heat the pies in the microwave.

Using prepared mini graham cracker crusts are perfect to satisfy your cravings for pumpkin pie. This recipe is also perfect for small air fryers. Depending on your basket size, you’ll have to cook the pies in several batches. All air fryers cook differently so after your first batch, you'll know more of what timing is best for your specific air fryer.
You can save the filling and cook 1-2 mini pies at a time. The raw filling saves for up to a week. Just wait to fill the crust until you are ready to ready to air fry the mini pies. You can also make the pies one day before serving. Adjust the spices to your individual preference, or just use about 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

  • Air Fry at 300°F for 10-12 minutes. Jiggle the pies in the air fryer basket. If the center is liquidy, air fry for a couple more minutes or until semi-firm. After air fryer is turned off, let the pies rest inside the air fryer for 10 minutes to finish cooking in the residual heat.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
