Since air fryers use rapidly circulating hot air to “fry” food, you can use far less oil than traditional frying and still get a crispy exterior. This makes the air fryer the perfect appliance for making homemade donuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I blend the cherry pie filling instead of mashing it?
No! To fill your cherry pie air fryer donuts appropriately, you’ll need to break down any big chunks of cherry in your premade pie filling; however, don’t be tempted to chuck the filling into the blender.

Blending your pie filling will make it far too runny to pipe into your donuts. Instead, take a fork and roughly mash your filling to break up any big chunks of cherry.

Can I use cherry jelly instead of cherry pie filling?
Of course! If you’re a big fan of jelly-filled donuts, you can pipe cherry jelly into the center of each of your air fryer donuts instead of cherry pie filling. The resulting donuts will be very similar in flavor to the original recipe, and the texture will be slightly different.

Can I make cherry pie air fryer donuts ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can easily make these cherry pie donuts ahead of time by preparing your dough the night before you want to serve these delicious donuts. Make your dough as standard, allowing it to go through the first rise and shaping process.

Once you’ve cut out your doughnut shapes, place them onto a greased cookie sheet and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Rise your uncooked donuts in the fridge overnight. In the morning, pop your cold donuts into the preheated air fryer and fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and no longer gooey in the center.
