What You’ll Need

Equipment:

• Muffin tin
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Sharp knife
• Rolling pin (optional)
• Spoon or spatula

Ingredients:

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

How to Make Peach Pie Cruffins

1. Preheat & Prep:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a muffin tin.

2. Make the Filling:
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the peach preserves and cinnamon until combined.

3. Roll Out the Dough:
Unroll each can of crescent dough into a flat rectangle, pressing the perforated seams together to form a solid sheet.

4. Spread the Filling:
Use a spoon or spatula to spread approximately ⅓ cup of the peach mixture over each rectangle of dough.

5. Roll & Slice:
Starting from the long edge, roll each rectangle into a log. Slice each log in half, then cut each half lengthwise (like a cinnamon roll) to create four strips from each can.

6. Shape the Cruffins:
Gently twist each strip and coil it into a spiral, tucking the ends underneath. Place each spiral into a cup of the prepared muffin tin.

7. Bake:
Bake the cruffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

8. Make the Glaze:
While the cruffins bake, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream together in a bowl until smooth and pourable.

9. Finish & Serve:
Drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins. Use a knife to help release them from the pan if needed, and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Tips and Variations

• Jam options: No peach preserves? Apricot or apple jam work beautifully.
• Add texture: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the filling before rolling.
• Decorative touch: Dust with coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar just before baking for a crunchy top.
• Storage: These are best fresh but can be kept in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven to refresh.

Final Thoughts

Peach Pie Cruffins are a fun, approachable way to bring the comfort of pie into a handheld, flaky pastry. With simple ingredients and an impressive presentation, they’re a winning addition to your baking repertoire—no pie crust or rolling pin mastery required. Try them for your next weekend brunch or as a sweet surprise any day of the week.
