INGREDIENTS
  1. 2 8oz. cans Crescent Rolls
  2. 1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
  3. 1 21oz. can apple pie filling
  4. 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  5. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  6. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
GLAZE:
  1. 1 cup confectioners sugar
  2. 1 Tablespoon milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
Oven Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Using a handheld mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles.
  4. On prepared baking sheet, place triangles overlapping, with the long ends pointed outward so there is an about 6-inch circle in the middle.
  5. Spread the dough with apple pie filling and drizzle with caramel sauce.
  6. Dollop and spread the cream cheese mixture over the apple pie filling and begin folding the outer ends of the dough over the filling. Pinch dough together to seal.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

Air Fryer Method:

    1. Preparation:
      • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
      • Lay out a piece of parchment paper that fits your air fryer basket.
    2. Crescent Roll Setup:
      • Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into triangles.
      • Arrange the crescent roll triangles in a circle on the parchment paper, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward. The circle should be about 4 inches in diameter.
    3. Cheesecake Filling:
      • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
      • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the wide part of the crescent rolls.
    4. Apple Filling:
      • In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped apple with ground cinnamon.
      • Spoon the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer.
    5. Caramel Drizzle:
      • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple mixture.
    6. Forming the Ring:
      • Fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to form a ring. Some filling will be visible between the crescent rolls.
    7. Butter Coating:
      • Brush the melted butter over the top of the crescent ring.
    8. Air Frying:
      • Carefully place the parchment paper with the crescent ring into the air fryer basket.
      • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the crescent ring is golden brown and cooked through.
    9. Finishing Touches:
      • Once done, carefully remove the crescent ring from the air fryer and let it cool slightly.
      • Optionally, dust with powdered sugar.
    10. Serving:
      • Cut into slices and serve warm, optionally with extra caramel sauce drizzled on top.
