- Roll out a premade pie crust and cut out three circles, about 1" larger than the ramekin. Place one pie crust round on top of each ramekin, press down to seal the edges, and if desired, cut four small slits on top of the crust*.1 store-bought Pie crust, in a tube, not a pre-formed crust.
- Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees. Once preheated add in the pot pies, if they do not all fit, cook in batches. Air fry for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve, note the ramekins will be hot!
