Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the hand pies in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- Be careful not to overfill the hand pies, or they may burst open in the air fryer.
- Let the hand pies cool slightly before eating to prevent them from exploding due to steam build-up inside.
