    GATHER ALL THE INGREDIENTS & KITCHEN GADGETS. LAY OUT YOUR WORKING STATION.

    • Remove the pastry from the packaging. Lay it out on a parchment paper.
    • Now cut the pastry into even squares of 5×5 inches with a sharp kitchen scissor. You may make even smaller squares if desired. You will probably have 6 squares of Puff Pastry to work with.
    • Make sure to work on 1 pastry square at a time. Take a square and place on a separate parchment paper
    • Spread 2 tbsp Apple pie filling in the center of the square, lengthwise. Leaving equal amount of pastry empty on both the sides.
    • Make 8-10 cuts on each side of the filling resembling 8-10 pastry arms on each side. These will be used to make a braid.

    • Now start braiding these arms on either side on top of the filling. (watch the video)

      Use the bottom 2 arms to seal. Press down gently.

    • Use Pastry Brush and Brush gently with some butter (at room temperature).
    • Finish the other squares like-wise and set them aside on Parchment paper to avoid sticking.
    • Now place 3 at a time in the Air Fryer Basket laced with parchment paper. If you have a larger air fryer, you can air fry more or all at the same time. Air fry at 390*F till golden for about 10 minutes. Check at 8 minutes if done. If not, air fry for 2 more minutes. .
    • Take out  carefully. Sprinkle with some sugar if desired. Let rest for few minutes on cooling rack to firm up the bottom of the pastry. DONE!

    • TIP : Since Puff Pastry is very delicate to work with, handle it gently. The best way is to work with it on a parchment paper to avoid sticking while braiding or transferring to the air-fryer
