Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners. Clear some counter space for rolling and shaping your cruffins.
  • In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed and the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the preserves.
  • Open the first can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently press the perforated seams together to create one large rectangle.
  • Spread about ⅓ cup of the peach-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving about a ¼-inch border around the edges.
  • Starting with the long edge of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log. Once rolled, cut the log in half crosswise to create two shorter logs.
  • Slice each half lengthwise down the middle to expose the layers and peach filling, yielding 4 strips from the first can of dough.
  • Twist each strip gently to expose more of the filling and roll each twisted strip into a spiral shape, tucking the end underneath.
  • Place each shaped cruffin into a cup of the prepared muffin tin with the spiral facing upward.
  • Repeat the process with the second and third cans of crescent dough until you have 12 cruffins in the muffin tin.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins are puffed up and golden brown.
  • While the cruffins are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
  • When the cruffins are done, let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes and drizzle the glaze over each cruffin while still warm.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. These cruffins are best enjoyed while still warm.

Notes

These peach pie cruffins combine the flaky layers of a croissant with the shape of a muffin and the flavors of a classic peach pie. Feel free to experiment with the filling.
