Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 tube crescent dough
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Icing

  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Unroll crescent roll dough and seperate into triangles.
  • Melt butter and stir in cinnamon and sugar.
  • Spread evenly over each triangle of crescent dough. Roll up just like a crescent roll.
  • Bake for 9 - 11 minutes at 350°F.
  • Allow cinnamon rolls to cool slightly. Mix up confectioners sugar and milk, drizzle over rolls and enjoy.

Notes

  • Keep the tube of refrigerated crescent dough cold until ready to use. I usually mix up my filling and have all supplies ready to go before taking them out of the oven.
  • A saves a lot of clean-up time!
  • Allow rolls to cool a bit before applying icing or it will just run-off. A warm roll will allow more of the icing to soak in.
  • If using an air fryer basket use non-stick spray on basket because dough will stick to the wires and be a bit difficult to clean up.
  • We prefer the regular oven or the air bake (as opposed to air fry) setting on our Cuisinart Air Fryer & Toaster Oven for this recipe.
  • Wait until ready to ice to mix up icing so that it doesn't dry out.
