Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cruffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease or line a muffin tin with parchment paper or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon until thoroughly mixed, creating a spiced peach filling.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll each can of crescent dough into a rectangle, pressing the seams together to form a continuous sheet of dough.
- Spread Filling: Spread about 1/3 cup of the peach and cinnamon mixture evenly over each rectangle of dough.
- Roll Dough: Starting from the long side, roll each dough rectangle tightly into a log shape, sealing the filling inside.
- Cut Dough: Cut each log into 2 pieces, then slice each piece down the center, making 4 twisted dough strips per log.
- Shape Cruffins: Twist each strip and roll it into a muffin shape, ensuring the spiral is secure.
- Place in Tin: Arrange the twisted dough pieces upright into the prepared muffin tins.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the cruffins turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Prepare Icing: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Glaze Cruffins: Once baked, drizzle the cream icing generously over the warm cruffins.
- Remove from Tin: Carefully loosen the edges with a sharp knife if needed and remove the cruffins from the muffin tin.
- Cool and Serve: Cool the cruffins on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute peach preserves with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for a different flavor.
- Ensure the seams of the crescent dough are properly pressed to avoid filling leakage.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream and use a suitable sugar alternative if desired.
- These cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave for a warm treat.
