Equipment
- Pastry mat

- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough sheet
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Mix the cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Butter a 6 x 6 inch baking pan. Set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll the crescent dough into a rectangle, approximately 13 x 17 inches.
- Brush melted butter on the dough.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly, leaving a border of about ½ inch with no brown sugar.
- Time to add the cinnamon mixture over the brown sugar.
- Roll the dough tightly. SEE NOTES
- Trim the edges of the dough roll and cut into 1-inch pieces. This should give you 17 mini cinnamon rolls.
- Place each piece into the buttered pan. Bake in the air fryer at 320℉ for 7 to 8 minutes or until golden.
- Let them cool for 2 -3 minutes. This is the perfect amount of time to make the glaze.
Glaze
- Mix the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a bowl.
- Once the mini cinnamon rolls have cooled cover with the glaze.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
- The crescent dough sheet can be substituted by the one that is already perforated into triangles. You will need to be careful when rolling the dough not to tear the seams.
- Always make sure to roll the dough tightly. This is what allows the mini cinnamon rolls to hold their shape better while cooking and for the filling to remain inside. The method for a tight roll is to press the long edge of the dough, closes to you, down on your working surface. Then start rolling the opposite long edge towards you. If the close side slips, simply press it down again and continue rolling.
