Ingredients

For the rolls

2 Tbsp.
melted butter, plus more for brushing
1/3 cup
packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp.
ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
All-purpose flour, for surface
1
(8-oz.) tube refrigerated Crescent rolls

For the glaze

2 oz.
cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup
powdered sugar
1 Tbsp.
whole milk, plus more if needed

Directions

1. Step 1Make rolls: Line bottom of air fryer with parchment paper and brush with butter. In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a large pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
2. Step 2On a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent rolls in one piece. Pinch seams together and fold in half. Roll into a 9"-x-7" rectangle. Spread butter mixture over dough, leaving 1/4-inch border. Starting at a long edge, roll up dough like a jelly roll, then cut crosswise into 6 pieces.
3. Step 3Arrange pieces in prepared air fryer, cut-side up, spaced evenly.
4. Step 4Set air fryer to 350°, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
5. Step 5Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk together. Add more milk by the teaspoonful, if necessary, to thin glaze.
6. Step 6Spread glaze over warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
