Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed)
Filling
- 1/2 cup peach pie filling (chopped into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
- Optional: additional cinnamon sugar
- Optional: powdered sugar glaze
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form one sheet. If using puff pastry, roll it out lightly on a floured surface for ease of working.
- Add Filling: Evenly spread the chopped peach pie filling over the dough sheet, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll and Slice Dough: Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log in half lengthwise to reveal the layers filled with peach.
- Shape Cruffins: With the cut sides facing outwards, twist each half into a spiral shape, then roll them into cruffin forms. Place each shaped cruffin into the prepared muffin tin cavities.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the cruffins with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar for extra flavor and a lovely glaze when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cruffins are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool: Allow cruffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
- Optional Decoration: Before serving, optionally drizzle with powdered sugar glaze or dust with additional cinnamon sugar for a sweeter finish.
Notes
- Use either store-bought or homemade peach pie filling as per preference or availability.
- Best served warm to enjoy the flaky texture and gooey filling.
- Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving to restore freshness.
