For an extra touch of sweetness, consider dusting the warm croissants with powdered sugar after sprinkling with cinnamon. If you prefer a richer flavor, use a flavored cream cheese, such as strawberry or honey-walnut. Ensure the sour cherries are well-drained to prevent the croissants from becoming soggy. Air fryer cooking times may vary; always monitor the croissants closely during cooking to prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepLightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines. (2 minutes)
03
StepSpread each triangle generously with softened cream cheese, leaving a small border around the edges. (5 minutes)
04
StepArrange 3-4 drained sour cherries on the wider end of each cream cheese-covered triangle. (3 minutes)
05
StepCarefully roll up each triangle from the wider end to the point, ensuring the cherries remain tucked inside. Gently curve the ends to form a classic crescent shape. (7 minutes)
06
StepLightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the croissants in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Work in batches if necessary. (3 minutes)
07
StepAir fry for 5 minutes, then check for doneness. The croissants should be puffed up and lightly golden brown. If needed, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. (5-8 minutes)
08
StepCarefully transfer the warm croissants to a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)
