Peach pie cruffins are a bakery-style hybrid of croissants and muffins, filled with sweet peach pie filling and baked to golden perfection. With flaky layers and juicy fruit flavor, they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup canned or fresh peaches, diced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (if using fresh peaches)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. If using fresh peaches, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thick and jammy, then let cool slightly.
  3. Unroll crescent dough or puff pastry and press seams together if needed.
  4. Brush melted butter over the dough and spread a thin layer of peach filling evenly across it.
  5. Roll dough tightly from the long edge into a log, then cut the log in half lengthwise.
  6. With cut sides facing out, twist each half into a spiral and roll into a rosette shape.
  7. Place each rolled cruffin into a muffin cup.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the tin. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Use parchment muffin liners to prevent sticking.Store-bought peach jam can be used as a shortcut filling.Try variations like adding sweetened cream cheese, nuts, or different fruits.Freeze baked cruffins and reheat in the oven for best results.Add a powdered sugar glaze instead of dusting for a more polished finish.
