Ingredients

• Marie Callender Frozen Pie (whole mini pie, slice, or cut portion of a full-size pie — any fruit flavor)

Optional for Serving:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

• Caramel or chocolate drizzle

• Cinnamon sugar or chopped nuts

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set air fryer to 330°F (165°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Pie

• Remove any plastic film or cardboard

• If using a full-size pie, slice into portions that fit your air fryer basket

• Use aluminum foil to cover the edges of the crust if you’re worried about over-browning

Step 3: Air Fry the Pie

• Mini pie or slice: Air fry at 330°F for 14–16 minutes

• Quarter or half pie: Air fry at 330°F for 18–22 minutes

• The filling should be hot and bubbly, and the crust golden brown

• Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

• Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

• Dust with cinnamon or drizzle with sauce if desired

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Wrap Crust Edges in Foil

Foil protects the outer crust from getting too dark while the filling heats.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Cook one pie or slice at a time unless you have a large-capacity air fryer.

Let the Pie Rest Before Serving

The filling gets extremely hot—cooling slightly helps it set and avoids burns.

Monitor the Time

Start checking your pie 2–3 minutes before the end to prevent overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Cook a Whole Pie in the Air Fryer?

Do I Need to Thaw the Pie First?

No—Marie Callender pies go straight from frozen to air fryer.

Will the Filling Leak Out?

Some bubbling is normal. Use a small layer of foil underneath for easy cleanup.
