Flaky Peach Cruffins Golden With Crescent Dough (Print version)

Flaky peach cruffins made with crescent dough, peach filling, cinnamon, and a vanilla glaze for an easy golden bakery-style treat.

# Ingredients:

For the cruffins

01 - 3 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent dough sheets or crescent rolls
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 1 cup (320 g) thick peach preserves
04 - 1/2 cup (90 g) finely diced peaches, fresh or canned and well drained
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
07 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
08 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting if needed

For the glaze

09 - 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
10 - 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
11 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - Small pinch of salt

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well or line it with parchment muffin liners.
02 - Stir the peach preserves, diced peaches, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a bowl until evenly combined.
03 - Unroll one crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface. If using perforated crescent rolls, press the seams together to make one solid rectangle.
04 - Spread 2 teaspoons softened butter over the dough, then spread one third of the peach mixture in a thin layer. Roll from the long side into a snug log.
05 - Cut the log in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise to expose the layers. Twist each strip with the cut side facing up and coil into a muffin cup. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
06 - Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and deeply golden on the edges and tops. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
07 - Whisk powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Drizzle over warm cruffins and let set for a few minutes before serving.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served the day they are baked while the edges are still crisp.
02 - If the dough gets sticky while shaping, chill it for 8-10 minutes before continuing.
03 - Use thick preserves or well-drained peach pie filling to avoid soggy centers.
