Description
Peach Pie Cruffins are a simple yet impressive breakfast pastry that combines the flaky, buttery layers of crescent dough with sweet peach preserves. Rolled into muffin shapes and baked to golden perfection, each cruffin is finished with a luscious drizzle of powdered sugar icing. Quick to assemble and bursting with gooey peach filling, they’re the perfect treat for busy mornings or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
Dough & Filling
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cruffins.
- Make the Peach Filling: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll each can of crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface, forming a large rectangle with each. Gently press the seams together to seal.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread about 1/3 cup of the peach and cinnamon mixture over each rectangle of dough, making sure to reach the edges for full flavor.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Starting from the long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a log. Slice each log in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise down the center, creating 4 sections per rectangle (12 pieces total).
- Shape the Cruffins: Twist each piece gently, then coil it up like a cinnamon roll to create a muffin shape. Place each twisted roll into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and puffed.
- Make the Icing: While the cruffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm cruffins. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then loosen the edges with a sharp knife as needed, and transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store cooled Peach Pie Cruffins in an airtight container for up to 1 day at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Get creative—swap in other fruit preserves, Nutella, or apple butter for different flavor variations.
- For a softer crust, cover loosely with foil in the last few minutes of baking.
