Forget the toaster, make air fryer toaster strudel in minutes for the most delicious breakfast or treat. Simple, and fast, even the kids can help make these strudels.

 

There are so many air fryer breakfast recipes, like bagels, eggs, cinnamon rolls, and bacon. Toaster strudel is another delicious, quick breakfast that can be made in under 10 minutes.

Why you should make toaster strudel in the air fryer instead of toaster

Texture – Cooking the frozen strudel in the air fryer ensures that you will get a delicious, golden brown pastry. The hot air circulating around the strudel toasts it to flakey texture perfection and warms up the fruit filling.

No burning – Because the air fryer cooks evenly and is more controlled, it is less likely that they will burn.

Number – You can cook 3-4 at a time.

Less mess – Don’t worry about getting pastry crumbs stuck in the toaster. The air fryer is easy to clean.

Ingredients needed

• Box of Pillsbury Toaster Strudel – These can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store. They are available in several different flavors.
• Air fryer – Choose your air fryer of choice. We like our 5.8 quart Cosori air fryer.

How to make toaster strudel in the air fryer

Step one: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Optional, like the air fryer basket with parchment paper or directly in the air fryer basket. Place frozen strudels in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Step two: Cook for 3 minutes, flip the strudel and then cook another 3 minutes.

Step three: Carefully remove the toaster strudel from the basket. Top with the sweet icing that is included in the box.

Recipe tips

• No need to spray the basket with cooking spray.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket so that they will cook evenly.
• These can be cooked from frozen. No need to thaw to room temperature.
• The cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you are using. The total cook time should be around 5-7 minutes.
• Try making your own icing to top your strudel.

How long to cook a toaster strudel in the air fryer?

I have found that cooking frozen strudel at 350 degrees F in the air fryer for 6 minutes will give you flakey, golden pastry crust while still heating the fruit filling.

How to store leftover toaster pastries

Store: Let any leftover toaster strudel cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer at 320 for 2-3 minutes.
