Fresh Cherry Pie filling OR canned pie filling all snuggled up in a pie crust shell slathered with
Or ANY DAY.
ABout that Cherry Pie Filling
Now OBVIOUSLY you CAN use ANY kind of pie filling you like. I can’t recommend this Bing Cherry Pie Filling ENOUGH! It’s so refreshing and not overly sweet!
BUT at the same time, you can ALSO use any FLAVOR of pie filling as well. Canned or homemade either will work! And be sure to buy the smallest can possible, you only need a little for this recipe.
ALSO, try jam in these! A very thick jam will make the perfect filling for homemade pop tarts. Again any flavor works, what’s your favorite? I think Rhubarb would be amazing!
What do I need to Make Air Fryer Pop Tarts?
- An Air Fryer I use and love the Cosori 5.8
- Pre-Made Pie Crust
- 1 Egg
- Cherry Pie Filling–THE SMALLEST CAN YOU CAN FIND OR jam works too!

- lay half of them on a baking sheet
- drop about 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling on the hearts
- lay another heart on top and use a fork to crimp around the edges
- chill the hearts while you preheat the air fryer at 380 for 5-8 minutes
- beat the egg yolk with a fork and brush the top heart with beaten egg

Notes
These pop tarts can be made any size you like. So you can make 10 smaller hearts or less big hearts it is up to you. The bigger the hearts the longer the bake time so be aware that smaller hearts 2-3 inches cook up in 5 minutes while bigger hearts cook up in 7-8 minutes.
