Peach Pie Cruffins combine the flaky, buttery layers of crescent dough with a sweet and spiced peach filling, baked into delightful muffin-shaped pastries and topped with a smooth cinnamon-infused glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 3 cans Refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounce each)
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cruffins.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease or line a muffin tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  3. Make Peach Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to infuse the flavor.
  4. Shape Dough: Unroll each can of crescent dough into a rectangle and press the seams together firmly to create a single sheet.
  5. Spread Filling: Spread approximately 1/3 cup of the peach cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle.
  6. Roll Dough: Starting with the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log shape to encase the peach filling.
  7. Cut Dough: Cut the rolled log into two equal pieces, then cut each piece down the center, resulting in 4 manageable strips.
  8. Form Cruffins: Twist each of the 4 strips and then roll them into a muffin shape, forming the characteristic cruffin layers.
  9. Place in Tin: Place each twisted roll into the prepared muffin tin, spacing them evenly.
  10. Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
  11. Prepare Icing: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  12. Drizzle Icing: Once baked, drizzle the prepared icing over the warm cruffins to add sweetness and a glossy finish.
  13. Remove from Tin: Gently remove the cruffins from the muffin tin, loosening the edges with a sharp knife if they are stuck.
  14. Cool and Serve: Allow the cruffins to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute peach preserves with other fruit preserves such as apricot or raspberry for a different flavor.
  • For a lighter glaze, adjust the amount of heavy cream in the icing to your preference.
  • Make sure the dough seams are pressed well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Serve cruffins fresh for the best texture and flavor; they may lose flakiness if stored too long.
  • Use a sharp knife when removing cruffins from the tin to avoid tearing their delicate layers.
