Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough and Filling

• 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
• 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the cruffins.
2. Mix Filling: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, stirring well to evenly distribute the spice throughout the preserves.
3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and press the seams together carefully to create uniform rectangles, which helps to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
4. Add Filling and Roll: Spread the peach and cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle, then roll the dough tightly into logs to encapsulate the filling.
5. Shape Cruffins: Slice each rolled log in half lengthwise, then twist each half gently into a spiral shape, exposing the layers and filling.
6. Bake: Arrange the twisted dough pieces into the prepared muffin tin, then bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Make Glaze and Finish: While the cruffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth to create a glaze. Drizzle this over the warm cruffins once they come out of the oven for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

• Use organic peach preserves if available for a more natural flavor.
• Ensure the crescent dough seams are well sealed to avoid filling leakage.
• For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon slightly or sprinkle some on top before baking.
• These cruffins are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated briefly before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
