Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup cherry preserves

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cherry preserves, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into the triangles along the perforations.

      Fill the Croissants: Take about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end towards the tip, forming a croissant shape. Secure the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out.

        Brush with Egg Wash: Place the rolled croissants on a parchment-lined plate. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.

          Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.

            Air Fry the Croissants: Carefully place the filled croissants in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

              Cool and Dust: Once cooked, remove the croissants from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Air Fryer Cherry Cream Cheese Croissants warm as a delightful breakfast or snack!
