Description
Peach Pie Cruffins are a flaky, buttery pastry with layers of crescent roll dough and a sweet peach pie filling, topped with a glaze for a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into 6 equal pieces. Layer each piece into the muffin tin, pressing them down to form a base and sides.
- Spoon the peach pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Drizzle the mixture over the top of each cruffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and puffed up.
- While the cruffins are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of water or milk to reach a drizzling consistency.
- Let the cruffins cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
Notes
Use fresh peaches for a natural flavor, but canned peach pie filling works as a substitute.
Prepare the peach filling and assemble the cruffins the night before for an easy morning bake.
Substitute peaches with other fruits like apples, cherries, or berries, adjusting sugar and cornstarch as needed.
For a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of water or milk in the glaze.
Freezing after baking is not recommended due to texture loss, but freezing dough and filling separately works well.
