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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to create a smooth, spiced filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll each can of crescent dough onto a clean surface and press the seams firmly together to form solid rectangles for easier spreading.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, ensuring a uniform layer for flavor in every bite.
  5. Form Logs and Twist: Roll each filled dough rectangle tightly into logs. Cut each log in half, then twist each half into a spiral shape to create the cruffin structure.
  6. Bake: Place the spiraled dough pieces upright into the prepared muffin tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cruffins turn golden brown and puffed.
  7. Glaze and Serve: While the cruffins are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the warm cruffins once they come out of the oven for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use organic peach preserves for a more natural and rich flavor.
  • Ensure the dough seams are pressed firmly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
  • These cruffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat briefly before serving.
  • You can substitute peach preserves with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for variety.
