Description
Peach Pie Cruffins are a delightful hybrid of croissants and muffins, filled with a sweet mixture of peach preserves and cinnamon. These flaky, buttery treats are baked until golden brown and finished with a smooth powdered sugar glaze, making them perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Cruffins
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cruffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves and ground cinnamon until well blended.
- Roll Dough: Unroll each can of crescent dough onto a clean surface, pressing the seams together to form one large rectangle per can.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread about 1/3 cup of the peach mixture over each dough rectangle.
- Roll into Logs: Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
- Cut Dough: Slice each log into two pieces, then cut each piece down the center to create four smaller pieces per log.
- Shape Cruffins: Twist each piece gently, then coil into a muffin shape and place each into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Make Glaze: While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
- Glaze the Cruffins: Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins evenly.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the cruffins from the muffin tin using a sharp knife to loosen the edges if necessary, then cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute peach preserves with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for different flavors.
- Ensure the dough seams are pressed well to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and powdered sugar with a suitable vegan alternative.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tops of the cruffins lightly with melted butter before baking.
- These cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
