Ingredients
Scale
Croissants:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar or granulated sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Prepare Croissants: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each triangle, then add about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling near the wide end.
- Roll Croissants: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling as much as possible.
- Air Fry: Place croissants in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Lightly brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute other fruit fillings like blueberry or apple.
- These are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes.
