Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Mix filling: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon to create a flavorful filling.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent dough and gently press seams together to form solid rectangles for easier spreading and rolling.
- Spread filling: Evenly spread the peach cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, ensuring good coverage but leaving a small border for rolling.
- Roll and twist: Roll each dough rectangle into a log, then slice each log in half lengthwise. Twist each half into a spiral shape to create the layered cruffin effect.
- Bake: Place each twisted piece into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the cruffins turn golden brown and puffed.
- Make glaze: While the cruffins bake, whisk the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream together until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Glaze and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins right out of the oven for a shiny, sweet finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure to press the crescent dough seams firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Use organic peach preserves for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- These cruffins are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream in the glaze with coconut cream or a plant-based milk thickened with powdered sugar.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling can enhance the spice flavor if desired.
