Ingredients
For the Cruffins
- 3 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin to prepare for baking the cruffins.
- Mix peach filling: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, stirring well to evenly distribute the spice throughout the mixture.
- Prepare dough base: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a large rectangular sheet, creating a continuous dough surface.
- Assemble the cruffins: Spread the peach and cinnamon mixture thinly and evenly over the dough rectangle. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log in half, then cut each half lengthwise to expose the swirled peach filling inside.
- Shape and place in tin: Take each strip and twist it gently before coiling into spiral shapes. Place each spiral carefully into the prepared muffin tin cups.
- Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until they are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Prepare and apply glaze: While the cruffins are warm, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins, allowing it to seep into the layers, enhancing sweetness and moisture.
Notes
- You can substitute peach preserves with apricot or other fruit preserves for a different twist.
- Make sure the crescent dough seams are fully pressed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- The glaze is best applied while cruffins are warm for optimal absorption.
- Use a toothpick to test if cruffins are baked through; it should come out clean when inserted.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
