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
- 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.
