Ingredients Needed

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Crescent Rolls
Step One: Slice each apple into 8 pieces. Cut each crescent triangle in half lengthwise to make two smaller triangles, place an apple slice on each, and carefully roll them up.
Step Two: Line or spray the air fryer basket—parchment paper works best. Arrange the rolled crescents in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
Step Three: Melt the butter and combine sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush each crescent with melted butter, then sprinkle lightly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step Four: Air fry the crescents at air fryer temperature of 320 degrees F and set cook time for 6-8 minutes, checking at 5 minutes to avoid overcooking. Serve warm, optionally over ice cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Crescent Rolls Recipe Tips
- Use firm apples: Varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith hold their shape best.
- Don’t overfill: Use one apple slice per crescent to prevent spilling during cooking.
- Even spacing: Arrange crescents in a single layer so they cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Check early: Air fryer temperatures vary, so start checking a minute or two before the suggested cooking time.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar or drizzle caramel for added flavor.
Storing Instructions
- Room temperature: Store cooled crescents in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days; reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.
- Freezing: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw before reheating.
