Ingredients Needed for Peach Pie Cruffins

For the Dough Base:

• 3 cans crescent roll dough (8 ounces each) – use refrigerated, seamless if available
• 1 cup peach preserves – organic if you can for richer fruit flavor
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – adds warmth and depth to the peach flavor

For the Glaze:

• ½ cup powdered sugar – gives a classic cruffin sweetness
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream – makes the glaze silky and smooth

Optional Add-Ins:

• A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for added spice depth
• Crushed pecans or sliced almonds for crunch

This list is intentionally short and sweet, making it accessible and ideal for spontaneous baking.

How to Make Peach Pie Cruffins

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
2. Make the Filling
   In a small bowl, stir together the peach preserves and cinnamon until well blended. This simple mixture will serve as the flavorful core of each cruffin.
3. Prepare the Dough
   Unroll one can of crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to create one solid rectangle. Repeat with the remaining dough. This creates a smooth, pliable canvas for the filling.
4. Spread and Roll
   Evenly spread a generous layer of the peach-cinnamon mixture over each rectangle. Starting from the long side, tightly roll each dough rectangle into a log, like you would for cinnamon rolls.
5. Slice and Twist
   Slice each log lengthwise to expose the layers. You’ll now have two long pieces. Gently twist each half into a loose spiral, then roll into a muffin shape and place into the muffin tin.
6. Bake to Perfection
   Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. The edges should be crisp, while the centers stay soft and layered. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

1. Make the Glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. If too thick, add a splash of cream. Drizzle over the warm cruffins for a glossy, sweet finish.

These golden swirls will have you reaching for seconds before the tray even cools!

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions

Serve Peach Pie Cruffins warm with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Their flaky layers pair perfectly with creamy or fruity sides, and the glaze gives just the right touch of indulgence.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it softens the crispy layers.

Helpful Notes

• Want to switch things up? Try apple butter, strawberry jam, or even lemon curd for the filling.
• To make them ahead, assemble the cruffins and refrigerate overnight. Bake the next morning.
• For added crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
• If using homemade preserves, make sure they’re not too runny to prevent soggy dough.
