Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast
There really is a trick to making perfect Cinnamon Toast. Who knew? I read an article by Ree Drummond a few years back, about making perfect Cinnamon Toast in the oven.

Making the Cinnamon Toast in the air fryer only takes 5 minutes, as opposed to using the oven, which takes 10 minutes.
If you don’t yet have an air fryer, you can even use your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker coupled with your Mealthy CrispLid too.

- For a really fantastic and unusual variety of air fryer cinnamon toast, follow this recipe method, but use my Cardamom Spiced Vanilla Sugar {Indian Coffee Sugar} mixed with the softened butter instead. OMG, what an awesome cinnamon toast it makes. That will blow you away!

Air Fryer or Air Fryer Ovens Work Great
Whether you own an air fryer or an air fryer oven, the method is the same. With an air fryer oven you can make more slices of cinnamon toast and you have a couple of racks to use.
