4.5 from 92 reviews

These Air Fryer Cinnamon Twists are a quick and delightful treat made with flaky puff pastry dough, brushed with melted butter, air fried to golden perfection, and generously coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crispy finish. Perfect for a breakfast snack or a sweet bite any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Twists

  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cinnamon Sugar

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the puff pastry dough on a clean surface and cut it into long strips, about 1 inch wide.
  2. Twist the Dough: Take each strip and twist it gently several times to form a spiral shape.
  3. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each twisted strip evenly with the melted butter to ensure golden browning during cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Twists: Place the twists in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 7-9 minutes or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the twists are still warm, toss them in a bowl mixed with cinnamon and sugar until well coated.
  6. Serve: Allow the twists to cool slightly, then serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is properly thawed before using to avoid tearing.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for even crispiness.
  • You can adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio based on your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with melted coconut oil or margarine.
  • Ensure the air fryer temperature is preheated for consistent cooking results.
