That’s where Smucker’s Uncrustables come in, they are crustless so I don’t even have to worry about cutting the crusts off myself.
I’m sure if you have kids you know what I am talking about.

The nice thing is that we always have a box of uncrustables in the freezer, so he can pull them out and make them himself. This is one easy air fryer recipe!

Air Fryer Uncrustables Recipe Ingredients

Air Fryer Uncrustables Tips and Variations
- Cook in batches. Make multiple batches to make a bunch of sandwiches.
- Make it sweet. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on the chocolate flavored hazelnut spread filled Uncrustables, this makes a delicious dessert.
- Keep in a single layer. Make sure not to pile the Uncrustables on top of each other in the air fryer or they won’t cook properly. Leave some room between each sandwich, my air fryer comfortably cooks 4 at a time.
- May need more or less time. Since all air fryers cook differently you may need a couple more or less minutes of cook time.
- Check on your food. Feel free to open the air fryer at any time to check on your sandwich to make sure it is not burning and you just have lightly toasty bread.
- Make in any air fryer. I have been able to make these frozen sandwiches in multiple air fryers, including my favorite Cosori XL 5.8 quart. They also work in the toaster oven style air fryers like the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, Ninja Foodi 8 in 1 or the Cosori Smart 12 in 1 Air Fryer Toaster Dehydrator.
- No aerosol cooking spray. I do not recommend using a cooking spray from the aerosol cans in your air fryer as it can cause the non stick coating to deteriorate very rapidly.
