For the Mini Pies:
- 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
- 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces (about 3.5 oz total)
- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
- 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers, divided (half for filling, half for topping)
- 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
- Water (for sealing edges)
For Serving (Optional):
- Chocolate syrup, for dipping
- Marshmallow cream, for dipping
- Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and allow them to come to room temperature as per the package instructions. Once ready, use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut as many circles as possible from the dough, placing the cuts close together for maximum pie yield.
- Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined. For a gooier center, add a bit of extra chocolate to the mix.
- Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Scoop about one tablespoon of the marshmallow filling into the center of half of the pie dough circles. Moisten your finger with a little water and run it around the edges of the filled dough circles. Top each with another dough circle and press gently to seal, then use a fork to press and crimp the edges decoratively and securely.
- Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of each sealed mini pie with melted salted butter. Evenly sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs over the buttered tops to add a crunchy texture.
- Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place 2 to 4 pies into the basket without touching each other, depending on your air fryer size. Air fry for about 10 minutes, or until the crusts turn golden brown and the filling is melted. Transfer the pies carefully to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. For extra crunch, air fry for an additional minute but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled mini s’mores pies on a serving platter. Serve with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dipping, enhancing the classic s’mores experience.
Notes
- Make sure the pie dough is at room temperature for easier cutting and sealing.
- Use good quality chocolate bars for the best flavor and melting consistency.
- If you prefer a less sweet filling, you can reduce the amount of marshmallows slightly.
- Adjust air fryer time based on the model and pie size to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
- For a larger batch, pies can be baked in a conventional oven at 375°F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- These hand pies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature and reheated briefly in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
