HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON TWISTS IN AIR FRYER:
- In a small bowl, add the sugar and cinnamon. Stir together to combine, and then set aside.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll the sheet of dough. Use a pastry brush and brush the melted butter on top of the pastry sheet. Evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the sheet of dough.
- Fold the dough in half, lengthwise, pinching ends together to seal in the cinnamon and sugar. Cut dough into 10-12 evenly sized strips.
- Twist each strip and gently pinch the ends of each strip together.
- Next brush each twisted strip with the melted butter, and then evenly sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Place in the air fryer basket, that is lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, or lined with air fryer parchment paper in a single layer.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm by itself or a yummy dipping sauce.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
