Now, you’ll notice your biscuits are separated out, making life easy for you. You’ll want to flatten them out. Grab your rolling pin. What, you’re a newbie cook without one? Use a clean can from your cabinet and that should do the trick.
Open that can of apple pie filling and you’ll scoop just a little into the center of your flattened biscuits. Then you’ll roll them up into balls.
Make sure you spray them with that cooking spray, though easy does it. They don’t need to be covered in the stuff!
By this point, your air fryer should be ready for you. You’ll plunk those air fryer donut holes in for a few minutes, checking in at about 4 minutes to see if they’ve browned. Not brown yet? Give them 2 more minutes.
Once brown, you’ll let them cool and throw that cinnamon and sugar together. Then you can give them another dose of cooking spray and roll them in the mixture.
To tell the kids there are apple crumb donuts in the kitchen or to not tell them? Ah, that decision is completely up to you.
On second thought, better grab enough to make double the batch of these because they’ll be gone fast. Check out the full details below!
