Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup cherry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).

    Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Roll out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into triangles as indicated on the package.

        Fill the Croissants: On the wide end of each triangle, spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling. Top it with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

          Roll the Croissants: Carefully roll the crescent dough from the wide end to the tip, making sure to tuck in the sides to enclose the filling.

            Prepare for Air Frying: Place the rolled croissants on a plate. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a nice golden color while cooking. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

              Air Fry the Croissants: Place the croissants in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches). Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

                Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the croissants from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with extra powdered sugar, if desired.
