Peach Pie Cruffins are a delightful hybrid between croissants and muffins, featuring flaky crescent dough filled with a sweet and spiced peach mixture. This recipe combines the buttery richness of a croissant with the fruity, comforting flavors of peach pie, baked to golden perfection for a delicious breakfast or dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into rectangles by gently pressing the perforations together to prevent gaps.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Place in Muffin Tin: Lightly butter a muffin tin. Place each rolled cruffin into a muffin cup to hold its shape while baking.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
