Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Roll Pizza – Air Fryer Desserts Easy Recipes

Let’s talk about one of those sweet cravings that hits you out of nowhere. You're sitting on the couch, minding your business, and boom—your taste buds demand something warm, sugary, and oddly pizza-shaped. That’s where this Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Roll Pizza steps in. Quick? Absolutely. Easy? You bet. Satisfying? Like a cozy blanket for your tongue. I stumbled upon this idea while trying to clean out my fridge (I mean, does anyone *really* finish a can of crescent rolls on the first go?). Instead of rolling them up like usual, I flattened them out, tossed on a cinnamon-sugar mix, baked it—and just like that, I had dessert pizza magic. It’s gooey in the middle, crisp on the edges, and smells like every good memory you’ve ever had at a county fair. This dessert fits right in with the world of simple desserts with few ingredients. It’s perfect for one, naturally sweet, and could even go in the air fryer if you’re feeling adventurous. Whether you're into sweet easy recipes or need something gluten-free adaptable, it checks all the boxes. Pizza night just got a sugary upgrade.

Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for drizzle)
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (for mixing with powdered sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (or air fryer to 350°F if using that route).
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or air fryer tray and press the seams together to form a solid rectangle.
  3. Brush the melted butter all over the dough—don’t be shy.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and your kitchen smells like cinnamon heaven.
  6. While it's cooling slightly, mix powdered sugar with milk to make a quick glaze (optional but highly recommended).
  7. Drizzle the glaze over your warm cinnamon sugar pizza, slice it up, and enjoy while slightly warm.

Notes

This works in the air fryer too—just check it after 8 minutes! You can use brown sugar or add chopped pecans if you're feeling fancy.
