4.8 from 149 reviews

Peach Pie Cruffins combine the flaky layers of croissants with the tender crumb of muffins, filled with sweet peach preserves and a hint of cinnamon, then topped with a delicate glazed finish. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

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.
