Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent dough sheets
- 1 ½ cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Make the peach filling: In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent dough sheets and cut each sheet into 6 strips.
- Assemble the Cruffins: Layer 2-3 strips of dough in each muffin cup, creating a criss-cross pattern. Gently press the dough down into the bottom and sides of the cup.
- Fill with peach mixture: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the peach filling into each dough-lined muffin cup.
- Top with more dough: Layer more dough strips over the peach filling, criss-crossing them to cover the filling.
- Egg wash: Brush the top of the dough with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and dust: Let the Cruffins cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- These can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, but they’re best served fresh.
- Try adding a drizzle of vanilla glaze for extra sweetness.
- You can substitute the peaches with other fruits like berries or apples.
- If you’re using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
