Introduction

Peach Pie Cruffins combine the flakiness of croissants with the charm of muffins, filled with sweet peach preserves and warm cinnamon. This delightful treat is perfect for breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack.

Seven rose-shaped pastries sit closely together on a white plate with delicate dark blue floral patterns along the rim. Each pastry has multiple layers of golden brown, flaky, and crisp puff pastry petals swirling outward, with shiny, slightly translucent yellow fruit slices that look like apples forming the inner layers. The tops glisten as if brushed with syrup, with a light dusting of white powdered sugar adding a gentle contrast on the warm hues. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and soft natural light highlights the textures and colors gently. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix the peach preserves and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 3: Roll out the crescent dough on a flat surface and press the seams together to form rectangles.
Step 4: Spread the peach and cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle.
Step 5: Roll each rectangle into a log, then slice each log in half. Twist each half into a spiral shape.
Step 6: Place the twisted dough pieces into the prepared muffin tin.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the cruffins are golden brown.
Step 8: While the cruffins bake, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream together to make a glaze.
Step 9: Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven and drizzle the glaze over them while still warm.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh peach slices along with preserves for extra texture and flavor.
Substitute apricot preserves if peach is not available.
Add a pinch of nutmeg with the cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
For a dairy-free glaze, use a mixture of powdered sugar and almond milk instead of heavy cream.

Storage

Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat gently in a warm oven for 5-7 minutes before serving. Avoid microwaving to preserve the flaky texture.

How to Serve

Four glazed apple rose pastries sit closely together on a white plate with a blue speckled bottom. Each pastry has multiple thin, overlapping layers of golden-brown baked dough, shaped like delicate rose petals curling outward from a center made of glossy apple slices in soft yellow and amber tones. The pastries have a shiny, sticky glaze that makes them look moist and slightly caramelized on the edges. In the background, blurred green hills under a blue sky create a peaceful outdoor setting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I freeze Peach Pie Cruffins?

Yes, you can freeze them after baking. Wrap each cruffin tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the oven before serving.

Can I make this recipe without crescent dough?

You could use puff pastry as an alternative, but the texture will be slightly different. Crescent dough provides a soft and flaky result that’s ideal for this recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners for easy removal and clean-up.
Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves and ground cinnamon thoroughly to infuse the preserves with warm spice flavor.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams to form solid rectangles, preventing the filling from leaking out during baking.
Fill Dough: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, ensuring consistent flavor throughout.
Shape Cruffins: Roll each dough rectangle into a log, slice it in half lengthwise, and twist each piece into a spiral shape for that characteristic cruffin look.
Bake: Place the twisted dough spirals into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Make Glaze and Finish: While the cruffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Once the cruffins are warm out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the top for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

For best results, use organic peach preserves to enhance flavor and quality.
You can substitute heavy whipping cream with milk for a lighter glaze but the consistency may vary.
Make sure the dough seams are well sealed to prevent filling leakage.
Allow cruffins to cool slightly before glazing to avoid glaze melting off immediately.
Serves well warm, and leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven.
