Delight in the perfect morning treat with these Peach Pie Cruffins, a luscious blend of flaky crescent dough spiraled with sweet peach preserves and a hint of cinnamon, finished with a smooth powdered sugar glaze. Ideal for brunch or dessert, these cruffins combine the charm of croissants and muffins for a unique, flaky pastry experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)

Filling

  • 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners to ensure the cruffins bake evenly and are easy to remove.
  2. Mix Filling: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves with the ground cinnamon, stirring well to create a fragrant, flavorful filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Roll out each can of refrigerated crescent dough on a clean surface and press the seams together carefully to form large, continuous rectangles for easier rolling.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each rectangle of dough, ensuring full coverage for consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Form Roll and Twist: Roll each dough rectangle tightly into logs. Slice each log in half lengthwise, then twist each half into a spiral shape, which will create the cruffin’s distinctive flaky layers.
  6. Bake: Place each twisted cruffin into the prepared muffin tin liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  7. Prepare Glaze and Finish: While the cruffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Once the cruffins are warm from the oven, drizzle the glaze generously over the top for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the crescent dough seams are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon in the filling.
  • The glaze can be adjusted to your preferred sweetness or thickness by altering the amount of heavy cream.
  • Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off completely.
  • These cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
