Ingredients for Peach Pie Cruffins

3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each): This is the base of our flaky, delicious cruffins. Make sure it’s chilled for easy handling!
1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible): The star of the show! I always go for a high-quality, organic preserve for the best, most intense peach flavor. You could also use homemade peach jam if you’re feeling ambitious!
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Adds a warm, comforting spice that perfectly complements the sweet peaches.
½ cup powdered sugar: For that delicate, sweet glaze that makes these peach pie cruffins irresistible.
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream: This gives our glaze the perfect creamy consistency. You can substitute milk if you’re in a pinch, but the glaze won’t be quite as rich.

How to Make Peach Pie Cruffins

Step 1: First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, grab your muffin tin and pop in some liners. Trust me, these little guys can get a bit sticky, and liners make cleanup a breeze!
Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 1 cup of peach preserves and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water! Give it a good stir until everything is nicely combined. This is our super simple, yet delicious peach pie filling.
Step 3: Now, unroll those crescent dough cans! Gently press the seams together to form three large rectangles. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect; a little rustic charm never hurt anyone. You want a smooth surface to spread that yummy peach mixture on.
Step 4: Spread the peach mixture evenly over each dough rectangle. Make sure to get all the way to the edges, but don’t overdo it! We don’t want any filling oozing out while they bake. That glistening peach layer is already looking irresistible!
Step 5: Here comes the fun part! Roll each dough rectangle tightly into a log, like you’re making a jelly roll. Once you’ve got your logs, use a sharp knife to slice them in half lengthwise. Now, twist each piece into a pretty little spiral. It doesn’t have to be perfect – just twist and tuck!
Step 6: Place each twisted cruffin into the prepared muffin tin. They should fit snugly. Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until those peach pie cruffins are golden brown and beautifully puffed up. The kitchen will smell amazing!
Step 7: While the cruffins are baking, whisk together ½ cup of powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream in a small bowl. This is your simple glaze. It should be smooth and pourable. If it’s too thick, add a tiny splash more cream.
Step 8: Once the cruffins are golden and gorgeous, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool a bit more.
Step 9: Drizzle that sweet powdered sugar glaze over the warm cruffins. Don’t be shy! Let the glaze drip down the sides for extra deliciousness. Now, try to resist eating them all in one go! Enjoy your homemade peach pie cruffins!

What’s the secret to perfect Peach Pie Cruffins?

It’s all about the twist! Don’t be afraid to really twist those dough slices when forming the cruffins. This creates those beautiful layers and pockets of peachy goodness that we all crave in a homemade peach dessert.

Can I make Peach Pie Cruffins ahead of time?

You can! Assemble the cruffins, but don’t bake them. Cover them tightly and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them in the oven. You might need to add a minute or two to the baking time. Baking the flaky cruffins fresh is always best, but this is a great option for easy brunch prep!

How do I avoid common mistakes with Peach Pie Cruffins?

The biggest mistake is overbaking. Keep a close eye on them! You want them golden brown, but still soft and slightly gooey in the center. Overbaking will result in dry, tough cruffins. Nobody wants that in their old-fashioned spiced peach dessert!

Best Ways to Serve Your Peach Pie Cruffins

These peach pie cruffins are incredibly versatile! For a simple yet elegant dessert, serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream. The warmth of the cruffin melts the cream just a bit – pure heaven! They’re also fantastic as part of a brunch spread. Imagine these alongside some mimosas and a fruit platter! For a more decadent treat, try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Trust me, this homemade peach dessert is always a hit, no matter how you serve it! These light and flaky cruffins are amazing any time of day.

How to Store and Reheat Your Peach Pie Cruffins

Okay, so you’ve managed NOT to eat all your warm peach pie cruffins in one sitting (impressive!). Now, let’s talk storage. To keep them as fresh as possible, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll be good for about 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, pop them in the fridge for up to 4 days – just know the crescent dough might lose a bit of its flakiness. For longer storage, you can freeze them! Wrap each cruffin individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. To reheat, just pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes, or microwave for a few seconds. Warm homemade peach dessert, anytime!

Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Pie Cruffins

Got questions about making these delightful peach pie cruffins? I’ve got answers! Here are a few of the most common questions I get, along with my best tips and tricks for baking success.

Can I use fresh peaches instead of peach preserves?

You absolutely can! If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and dice them, then cook them down in a saucepan with a little sugar, cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice until they soften and thicken slightly. Let the mixture cool completely before using it as a filling. Keep in mind that fresh peaches will release more moisture than preserves, so you may need to adjust the baking time slightly. What kind of peaches work best? I recommend using freestone peaches, as they’re easier to pit and slice. Can I use frozen peaches? Yes, but thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before cooking them down.

Can I make these with different kinds of fruit?

Absolutely! The beauty of this recipe is how easily you can adapt it to your favorite fruits. Blueberry, raspberry, apple, or even cherry pie filling would all be delicious. Just make sure to adjust the spices accordingly to complement the fruit. What about savory fillings? While this recipe is designed for sweet fillings, you could experiment with savory options like ham and cheese or spinach and feta. Just omit the cinnamon and glaze. Could I add nuts to the filling? Chopped pecans or walnuts would add a lovely crunch and nutty flavor to these flaky cruffins!

Are these Peach Pie Cruffins difficult to make?

Not at all! This recipe is designed to be quick and easy, even for beginner bakers. The key is to keep the crescent dough chilled and work quickly to prevent it from getting too sticky. If you follow the instructions carefully, you’ll have a batch of delicious, impressive-looking cruffins in no time. What if my dough is too sticky? Place it back in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up. Do I need any special equipment? Nope! Just a muffin tin, a mixing bowl, and a sharp knife.

Variations of Peach Pie Cruffins You Can Try

Vegan: Swap the crescent dough for a vegan version (some brands offer it!). Use a plant-based butter alternative when preparing your muffin tin.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free crescent roll dough. You might need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep a close eye on them.
Caramel Peach: Drizzle caramel sauce over the warm, glazed cruffins for an extra decadent treat. A sprinkle of sea salt takes it over the top!
Spiced Peach: Add a pinch of ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to the peach preserve mixture for a warmer, more complex spiced peach dessert flavor profile.
