Mini Banapple Pie in Air Fryer

Today is our 5th year wedding anniversary. Since we are still on a lockdown and no reason to go out, I am thinking of a food to cook that will be perfect for our coffee date 😂. I saw 3 old apples 🍎 on our table and bananas... hmmm 🤔 a banapple pie will best suits our cravings 😋...

I made a pie dough from scratch , if you still remember the crust from my mini egg pies just double the measurements to make 6 banapple pies in a muffin pan and 1 banapple pie on my mini springform pan that best fits in my air fryer 😉.

I like the buttery taste of the crust not too sweet and the combination of apple and banana is just truly a perfect blend.

Do not overcook the filling because the crunchiness of the apple makes it more delicious together with the walnuts.😋

Recipe as follows....
