Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares, about 4×4 inches.
  4. Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.
  5. Top the cream cheese with a small spoonful of cherry pie filling.
  6. Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center, pinching to seal the filling inside.
  7. Brush the tops of each pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Carefully place the pastries in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
  9. Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!

Chef’s Tips

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with any other fruit filling of your choice.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pastry, add more sugar to the cream cheese mixture.
