Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with liners to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, stirring well to create a fragrant and flavorful filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Roll out each can of crescent dough and press the seams together to form uniform rectangles, providing a consistent base for the filling.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, ensuring coverage to the edges for maximum flavor in every bite.
  5. Form Cruffins: Carefully roll each dough rectangle into a log, then slice each log in half. Twist each piece gently into a spiral shape to create the classic cruffin look.
  6. Bake: Place the twisted dough pieces upright into the prepared muffin tin and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Prepare Glaze: While the cruffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth and glossy.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Once baked, allow the cruffins to cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough seams are fully sealed to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • Use organic peach preserves for a more natural and richer flavor.
  • You can substitute the peach preserves with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for variety.
  • Let the cruffins cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting too much.
  • Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
