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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the peach preserves and ground cinnamon until evenly combined, creating a flavorful spread for the dough.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and carefully press the seams together to form three large rectangles, ensuring there are no gaps.
- Spread Filling: Evenly spread the peach and cinnamon mixture over each dough rectangle, covering the entire surface for an even distribution of flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Roll each rectangle tightly into a log. Slice each log in half lengthwise, then twist the two halves together to form a spiral shape.
- Assemble in Muffin Tin: Place each twisted dough spiral into a muffin cup, making sure they fit snugly to hold their shape while baking.
- Bake: Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Remove the cruffins from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the warm pastries for a glossy, sweet finish.
Notes
- For easier handling, chill the crescent dough briefly if it becomes too sticky during rolling.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to refresh the flakiness.
- Substitute peach preserves with apricot or raspberry preserves for a different fruity twist.
- For a dairy-free glaze, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- Ensure the rolls are tightly twisted to maintain the spiral shape during baking.
