Ingredients

• Marie Callender’s Pumpkin Pie (frozen — whole, mini, or slice)

Optional for Serving:

• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

• Ground cinnamon or nutmeg

• Caramel drizzle or candied pecans

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

• For mini pies or slices, remove any packaging or foil

• For whole pies, check your air fryer’s size—most standard air fryers only fit 5–6 inch pies

• If needed, cover crust edges with a small foil strip to prevent over-browning

Step 3: Air Fry the Pie

• Mini pie or slice: Air fry at 330°F for 12–15 minutes

• Half or small whole pie: Air fry at 330°F for 22–28 minutes

• Check center—it should be warmed through and slightly firm, not jiggly

• Let rest in basket 3–5 minutes to finish setting

Step 4: Cool and Serve

• Serve warm with whipped cream or chill in fridge for later

• Top with your favorite pie toppings

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use Foil for the Crust

If edges brown too quickly, gently wrap foil around the outer crust while cooking.

Don’t Overcrowd

Air needs to circulate around the pie—cook one at a time for best results.

Test the Center

Gently tap or insert a knife into the center—it should come out mostly clean with slight custard firmness.

Let Rest Before Serving

Cooling for 5–10 minutes helps the filling fully set and improves slicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Cook the Whole Pie in an Air Fryer?

Do I Need to Thaw First?

No—this method works directly from frozen. Just extend the cook time as needed.

Will the Crust Burn?

Not if you monitor and use foil on the edges if it starts browning too fast.

No—with the right temperature and rest time, the filling sets perfectly smooth and firm.
