Description
Peach pie cruffins are a delightful twist on classic pastries, combining the flaky texture of crescent dough with a sweet, spiced peach filling. Baked in a muffin tin, these easy-to-make treats are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz / 225 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup peach pie filling, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (only if using fresh peaches)
- 1 tablespoon water (only if using fresh peaches)
- Cooking spray or additional melted butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter.
- If using fresh peaches, peel and finely dice them. In a saucepan, combine with granulated sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly.
- Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into rectangles. Press perforations to seal. Brush lightly with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over dough, then top with peach filling and drizzle with vanilla extract.
- From the long side, roll the dough into a log. Cut the log lengthwise to expose layers. Roll each strip into a spiral and place in muffin tin.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving warm.
Notes
- Make sure filling is not too wet to avoid soggy dough.
- Use puff pastry as a substitute for crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.
- Drizzle with glaze or dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
