  • Air Fry the Pie:
    • Place the pie carefully into the air fryer basket.
    • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-8 minutes, or until the top of the pie begins to brown lightly.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Remove the pie from the air fryer and let it cool to room temperature. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
    • Slice and serve once the pie is fully cooled.
