Air Fryer Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Description
Soft, golden cinnamon rolls made with store-bought pizza dough and filled with cinnamon brown sugar butter and caramel-coated apples.
Ingredients
- 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough, 1 ball
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced small
- ¼ cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 cup powdered sugar, optional, for icing
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk, optional, for icing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth.
- In a second bowl, toss the apple with the caramel sauce.
- Roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the butter mixture over the dough, top with the apples, and roll into a tight log. Pinch the seam closed.
- Cut into 6 even rolls.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment. Working in batches, air fry at 300°F for 10 minutes, then at 350°F for 10 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Cool 5 minutes. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together and drizzle over the rolls, or use warm caramel sauce.
Equipment
- Parchment paper or air fryer parchment liners
- Rolling Pin

Notes
- Firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith hold their shape best.
