What are peach pie cruffins?

Peach pie cruffins are a hybrid pastry combining the flaky layers of croissant dough with the convenient muffin shape. Filled with sweet peach preserves mixed with cinnamon, they bake into golden, gooey treats perfect for breakfast or dessert. The recipe uses refrigerated crescent dough for simplicity and quick assembly.

How do I make peach pie cruffins from scratch?

Start by mixing peach preserves with cinnamon, then roll refrigerated crescent dough into rectangles and spread the filling evenly. Roll into logs, cut, twist, and coil the strips into muffin pans. Bake at 375°F for 18-20 minutes until golden. Drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and heavy cream after cooling slightly.

Can I replace peach preserves with other fillings in cruffins?

Yes! Feel free to swap peach preserves with other fruit jams or preserves like apricot, strawberry, or mixed berry. Adding complementary spices such as cinnamon with strawberry or ginger with pear can enhance the flavor profile.

What is the best way to bake cruffins so they’re not doughy inside?

Bake the cruffins until they are golden brown and puffed. You can test doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid opening the oven door frequently to maintain even baking temperature.
