Ingredients

• 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
• 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix the peach preserves and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. Step 3: Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to create flat rectangles.
4. Step 4: Spread the peach and cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle.
5. Step 5: Roll each dough rectangle into a log, then slice each log in half.
6. Step 6: Twist each half into a spiral shape and place them into the prepared muffin liners.
7. Step 7: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins turn golden brown.
8. Step 8: Whisk the powdered sugar and heavy cream together to form a glaze, then drizzle it over the warm cruffins before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute peach preserves with apricot or strawberry for a different fruity flavor.
• Adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds inside the roll before baking adds a nice crunch.
• For a spicier twist, sprinkle a little nutmeg or ground ginger along with the cinnamon.
• Use homemade crescent dough or puff pastry for an even flakier texture.

Storage

Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 4 days and warm briefly in the oven or microwave before serving. The glaze is best applied fresh after reheating.

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
2. Mix Peach Filling: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon until evenly blended, creating a sweet and fragrant filling.

Notes

• Using organic peach preserves enhances flavor and ensures natural ingredients.
• Ensure seams of crescent dough are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
• Twisting the dough gives the cruffins their signature flaky layers and attractive spiral appearance.
• The glaze can be adjusted for consistency by adding more cream or powdered sugar as needed.
• These cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
