    These Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls are a dupe for your favorite mall cinnamon rolls. A light and smooth dough filled with a sweet cinnamon mixture and topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting. They are truly heaven in bun form. The Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll recipe is another inventive way to use the air fryer. These rolls come out so perfect. Plus you get to control how much of that delicious icing gets slathered on top. The hot air makes them golden and delicious.
