Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries, pitted and chopped)

1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon milk

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy, then fold in the cherry pie filling gently to create a swirled effect.

    Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.

      Prepare the Crescent Rolls: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough into triangles. If you have a perforated package, pinch the seams together to create larger triangles.

        Fill the Croissants: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cherry cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough starting from the wide end towards the pointed end, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to prevent the filling from leaking out.

          Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg and milk together. Brush the tops of the rolled croissants generously with the egg wash to give them a beautiful golden color while baking.

            Air Fry the Croissants: Place the filled croissants in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure there’s space between each one for air circulation. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

              Cool and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the croissants from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

                Enjoy your warm and delicious Air Fryer Cherry Cream Cheese Croissants! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack.
