# Ingredients:
→ For the Cruffins
01 -
3 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
02 -
1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
03 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ For the Glaze
04 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
05 -
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners. Clear some counter space for rolling and shaping your cruffins.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed and the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the preserves.
03 -
Open the first can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, gently press the perforated seams together to create one large rectangle with even thickness.
04 -
Spread about 1/3 cup of the peach-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving about a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
05 -
Starting with the long edge of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise to expose the layers and filling, creating 4 strips in total.
06 -
Twist each strip gently to expose more filling and roll each into a spiral shape. Tuck the end underneath and place into a muffin cup with the spiral facing upwards.
07 -
Repeat the process with the second and third cans of crescent dough until all 12 muffin cups are filled.
08 -
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins are puffed up and golden brown. Allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
09 -
While the cruffins are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed by adding more cream or sugar.
10 -
Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cruffins, allowing it to seep into the layers. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
# Tips:
01 -
These cruffins are best enjoyed while still warm, as the pastry remains crisp and the filling gooey.
