Servings: 12 | Cook Time: 8 minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 package crescent roll dough

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Form the Bites: Roll out crescent dough and cut into small squares. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, then fold and seal the edges.
  3. Coat with Crumbs: In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Dip each sealed dough square into the mixture, ensuring an even coat.
  4. Cook in Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Place bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Toss cooked bites in the mixture while still warm.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow bites to cool slightly before serving.

Tips

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother filling.
  • Seal the dough edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
