FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used. Thaw and drain any excess liquid before mixing with sugar and cinnamon to avoid soggy dough.

Ingredients
Dough
- 1 can crescent dough (8 oz)
Peach Filling
- 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix gently until the peaches are evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into rectangles by gently pressing the perforations together to prevent gaps.
- Fill the Dough: Brush the melted butter evenly over each dough rectangle. Spoon a generous amount of the peach filling lengthwise along the edge of each rectangle.
- Roll the Cruffins: Starting from the edge with the peach filling, carefully roll up each dough rectangle into a tight spiral, like a croissant shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Place in Muffin Tin: Lightly butter a muffin tin. Place each rolled cruffin into a muffin cup to hold its shape while baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cruffins for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cruffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a more intense peach flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches or substitute with thawed frozen peaches.
- You can add a sprinkle of powdered sugar after baking for extra sweetness and decoration.
- Ensure the dough seams are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently in a warm oven or toaster oven to restore flakiness.
