- ¼ cup butter melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- To make this recipe, begin by unrolling and separating each crescent roll.

Notes
- I make these in my Cosori 5.8 Air Fryer. Depending on the size and wattage of the Air Fryer, you may need to add 1-2 additional minutes to cook time.
- Leave enough room between each pastry, allowing room for the roll to puff as it cooks.
- Do not stack or overlap in the basket. The dough may not cook evenly.
- You can make 4 or 8 in a batch, depending on what will fit in your basket.
