How To Make Easy Air Fryer Apple Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

1. Prepare the apple. Peel and core the apple. Then finely dice it.
2. Prepare the apple filling. Melt butter in a skillet. Add apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Sauté about 3 minutes. Let cool.
   
3. Fill the cinnamon rolls. Unroll cinnamon rolls. Spread apple mixture on top and then roll back up again.
   
4. Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees. Then add a piece of parchment paper to the air fryer and place the cinnamon rolls on the parchment paper. Note: You will probably have to cook them in batches.
5. Air fry for 13 to 16 minutes.
   
6. Ice and serve. Let cool a little and then spread the icing on top and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Use a spatula to transfer the cinnamon rolls into the air fryer without them falling apart.
• Any diced apples that fall out of the cinnamon rolls when you roll them up can be stuffed back into the cracks.
• Do not crowd the air fryer basket. I can only fit 3 at a time in my air fryer. They will expand as they cook.
• Use parchment paper liners designed for air fryers for easy clean-up.
• Check early and often and use the air fryer cooking time as an estimate.

Storage

Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days and reheated in a 320 degree air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Variations

For even more flavor and a little crunch, add a few tablespoons or chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.
