Cinnamon Roll Bites

Method

  1. 1

    Unroll crescent dough into a rectangle, pressing seams together. Spread with softened butter.

  2. 2

    Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

  3. 3

    Roll up tightly from the long side. Cut into 1-inch pieces.

  4. 4

    Place cut-side up in the basket with space between them. Air fry at 350°F for 7-9 minutes until golden.

  5. 5

    Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Pro tip. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut clean slices — a dull knife squishes the roll flat. Serve warm while the glaze is still dripping.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 17 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
