Peach Pie Cruffins are a delightful fusion of croissants and muffins, filled with a luscious peach preserves and cinnamon mixture, baked to golden perfection, and finished with a simple sweet glaze. This easy-to-make recipe uses refrigerated crescent dough to create a flaky, tender pastry that tastes like a homemade peach pie in handheld form—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)

Filling

  • 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the cruffins.
  2. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the peach preserves and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well blended, making a flavorful filling.
  3. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent dough from each can and press the seams together firmly to create large rectangular sheets. This prevents separation during baking and gives a consistent dough base.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, making sure to cover it edge to edge for maximum flavor in every bite.
  5. Shape the Cruffins: Starting at one edge, roll each dough rectangle into a tight log. Slice each log in half lengthwise, then twist the two halves together in a spiral shape to form the cruffin.
  6. Bake: Place each twisted dough spiral vertically into the prepared muffin tin liners. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the cruffins turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through.
  7. Make Glaze and Finish: While the cruffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth and pourable. Once the cruffins are warm but not hot, drizzle the glaze over them. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute apricot preserves for a different fruity flavor.
  • Make sure to press the crescent dough seams well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • For a dairy-free glaze, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • Use fresh peach preserves for a more natural fruity taste without added artificial flavors.
