Air Fryer Pineapple tarts

Ingredients:

For the Pineapple Filling:

• 2 cups fresh or canned pineapple, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

For the Pastry:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1-2 tbsp cold water

Instructions:

1. Make the Pineapple Filling:

1. Combine pineapple and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
2. Reduce heat to low and cook until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. This may take 15-20 minutes.
3. Add cinnamon (optional) and let cool. Roll into small balls once cool.

2. Prepare the Pastry Dough:

1. In a bowl, mix flour and powdered sugar.
2. Add cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until crumbly.
3. Mix in egg yolk and add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

3. Assemble the Tarts:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
2. Roll out the chilled dough and cut into circles (2-3 inches in diameter).
3. Place a ball of pineapple filling in the center of each circle and fold the dough over, sealing the edges.
4. Shape as desired—classic enclosed or open-topped designs.
5. Brush with an egg wash for a golden finish.

4. Air Fry the Tarts:

1. Arrange tarts in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
2. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Cool before serving.
