Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine your finely diced apples with the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together until the apples are evenly coated in the sweet spice mixture. This ensures every bite has that signature apple pie flavor.
- Open the tube of cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside for later. Take each individual roll and gently press down on the center with your thumb to create a small well, or slightly unroll them to tuck the apple mixture inside. This allows the apples to bake right into the dough.
- Spoon a generous amount of the prepared apple mixture into the center or onto the top of each cinnamon roll. If you unrolled them, roll them back up tightly to secure the apples inside. Press down slightly to make sure the fruit stays in place during the cooking process.
- Lightly grease your air fryer basket or line it with a piece of perforated parchment paper. Place the rolls in the basket, ensuring they are not touching so the air can circulate. Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Carefully remove the hot rolls from the air fryer. While they are still warm, drizzle the included icing over the top. The heat from the rolls will melt the icing slightly, allowing it to seep into the layers and mix with the apple juices.
