Description
Peach Pie Cruffins are flaky pastries with a croissant-like texture, filled with sweet, spiced peach filling and baked in muffin form. They’re easy to make, visually stunning, and perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
1 sheet of thawed puff pastry
2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup diced peaches (drained if using canned)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup powdered sugar (optional glaze)
1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional glaze)
½ teaspoon vanilla (optional glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line with wrappers.
- In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thick and jam-like. Let cool.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with a mix of white sugar and cinnamon.
- Spread the cooled peach filling over the pastry. Roll into a log, slice lengthwise, and twist each half into a rosette. Place in the muffin tin.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool slightly.
- Mix powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm cruffins if desired.
Notes
Swap peaches with apples, cherries, or berries for variety.
Add chopped nuts or spices like nutmeg or cardamom for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–10 minutes to retain crispness.
