    Bakewell Pie Tarts

    1 review

    With my busy family of five, I'm always burning things in the oven because I get pulled into other tasks. But the air fryer, with its time-controlled powers, has been a godsend. Now when the inevitable family emergency pops up, I don’t have to worry about setting off the smoke alarm! My British heritage means I grew up on tea and Bakewell tarts. This easy rendition uses similar components of the iconic tart, but it's easier for bustling families to make. You can use any type of jam you want! —Kristin Bowers, Gilbert, Arizona
