Description

Ingredients
For the Cruffins
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of peach preserves with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until well blended to create a sweet and spiced peach mixture.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the refrigerated crescent dough on a clean surface and press the seams together fully to create rectangular sheets without perforations.
- Add the Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, ensuring a consistent layer for flavor in each bite.
- Form the Cruffins: Roll each rectangle into a log, then slice each log in half lengthwise. Twist each piece into a spiral shape and place one twist into each muffin tin cup.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cruffins turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While the cruffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins once they come out of the oven and have slightly cooled. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use gourmet or organic peach preserves for a more intense and richer flavor.
- Try alternative fruit fillings such as blueberry or raspberry for unique variations of this recipe.
- Ensure you press the seams of the crescent dough firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Allow cruffins to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off completely.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and powdered sugar with a vegan sugar alternative.
