How to make delicious and easy semi-homemade apple donut holes in an air fryer.  This uses canned apple pie filling and crescent rolls for a quick and easy dessert or snack.

We've been up to our eyeballs in apples.  We have a large orchard with several types of apples, so I canned sliced cinnamon apples, apple pie filling, and applesauce.

Dakota made a delicious apple pie, and we've been eating applesauce almost every day.  The kids also love this air fryer apple donut holes recipe.

This is a semi-homemade recipe.  It's easy enough for my kids to make by themselves.

I love that it's air fried, so it has less fat than deep frying.  We do have a deep fryer, but it's kind of a pain to get out and then let cool and clean up the grease splatters.

I didn't think we'd use the air fryer that often, but we really love it.  

Apple Donut Holes Air Fryer Recipe

These apple donut holes are easy to make because they start with a can of crescent rolls.  I get mine at Aldi for around $1 a pack.  

I also cheated and used canned apple pie filling to save time.  I make my own apple pie filling, but you can certainly use a can from the store.

Unlike the crescent rolls that are the same in generic, I do recommend using a good quality apple pie filling.  

If I have to buy it, I prefer the Duncan Hines Comstock Simply Apple or Musselman's Apple Pie Filling.

Both are really good for canned pie fillings.  To be honest, I haven't tried other brands that I liked, but I haven't tried a lot either.  

This is similar to my easy mini apple pie recipe, so you may want to check that out for a baked pie.

I use the Nuwave Brio Air Fryer.  I've had it for almost three years now, and we use it several times a week.
