Ingredients Needed

- Powdered Sugar: Used to make a smooth glaze.
- Milk: Creating a creamy glaze that ties all the flavors together.

Instructions

Step One: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F, air fryer setting. Whisk together cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Step Two: Roll the puff pastry out flat on a clean surface. Use a spatula to spread the cinnamon and butter mixture over the sheet until you are ½ – ¼ of an inch away from the edge.

Step Three: Drizzle with the diced pecans (optional)

Step Four: Starting from the shorter end, roll the puff pastry sheet into a roll. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into one-inch-thick rolls.

Step Five: Place rolls in the air fryer basket, and cook for five to seven minutes, or until rolls turn a deep golden-brown color. Do this in batches until all the rolls are finished.
Step Six: Whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth to make the cinnamon roll icing. Drizzle over rolls while warm before serving.

- Experiment with Fillings: Try adding chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
- Glaze After Cooking: Drizzle with glaze while still warm for a delicious finish.
