Ingredients You’ll Need

1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup canned peach pie filling
2 tablespoons melted butter

Powdered sugar
Vanilla glaze

Cinnamon sugar dusting

Instructions: How to Make Peach Pie Cruffins

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. You can also line it with muffin liners for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and press the perforations to seal. You should end up with one large rectangle. If your dough comes in sheets (without perforations), even better!

Step 3: Add Peach Filling

Spread peach pie filling evenly over the dough. Be gentle—don’t overload it, or it’ll spill out during baking.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

Starting from the long end, roll the dough tightly into a log (like a cinnamon roll). Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the log in half lengthwise. Then, roll each strip into a spiral, with the peach filling visible.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place each spiral into the muffin tin and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. The tops should be crisp and caramelized.

Step 6: Cool and Top

Let the cruffins cool slightly before removing from the tin. Top with powdered sugar or glaze, and serve warm.

Recipe Notes & Tips

Use parchment paper muffin liners if your filling is sticky—this makes cleanup easier.
Want a boozy twist? Add a splash of bourbon or rum to your peach pie filling.

For extra crunch, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking.
These cruffins are best fresh but can be reheated in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes.

Glaze Ideas for Your Cruffins

Enhance your cruffins with a drizzle of glaze! Here are a few ideas:

Simple Vanilla Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix and drizzle over warm cruffins.

Lemon Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Zest of ½ lemon

Pairs beautifully with peach filling!

Storage & Reheating

These Peach Pie Cruffins can be stored in an airtight container:

At room temperature for 1–2 days
In the fridge for up to 4 days

To reheat, pop them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to restore their crisp texture. Avoid microwaving, as it may soften the pastry too much.

Peach Pie Cruffins FAQs

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the cruffins and refrigerate them overnight in the muffin tin. Bake them fresh the next morning for a warm and flaky treat.

Can I freeze Peach Pie Cruffins?

Definitely. Bake and cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven until warmed through.

Can I use homemade peach pie filling?

Absolutely. If you have a favorite recipe for peach pie filling or fresh peaches in season, go for it! Just make sure the filling isn’t too wet.
