Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
  • 1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
  • 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.
  3. Prepare Dough: Roll out each can of refrigerated crescent dough and press the seams together firmly to form smooth rectangles without perforations.
  4. Apply Filling: Spread the peach preserve and cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  5. Shape Cruffins: Roll each dough rectangle into logs, slice them in half lengthwise, then twist each piece gently into a spiral shape, creating the characteristic layered look.
  6. Arrange and Bake: Place the twisted dough spirals into the prepared muffin tin cups, spacing them evenly, and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and flaky.
  7. Make Glaze: While the cruffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth to form a creamy glaze.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Once the cruffins are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for added sweetness and shine. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

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.
