Make bakery style peach cruffins easily at home using pre-made croissant dough for flaky, layered pastry filled with sweet summer peaches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peach filling: Combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Gently press the perforations together to form one large rectangle.
  4. Cut the dough rectangle in half lengthwise, creating two long strips.
  5. Brush the surface of each strip lightly with melted butter.
  6. Starting at one end, tightly roll each strip lengthwise into a log.
  7. Cut each log in half crosswise, resulting in four shorter rolls.
  8. Gently press each short roll into a standard muffin tin cup. Press the dough up the sides to form a cup shape.
  9. Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled peach filling into the center of each dough cup. Do not overfill.
  10. Brush the exposed dough edges with the beaten egg wash.
  11. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let the peach cruffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool further.

Notes

  • Using store-bought dough makes this a quick recipe for flaky pastry baking with peaches.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute the fresh peaches with high-quality peach jam.
  • If you want a taller cruffin, use a mini muffin tin instead of a standard one, adjusting the bake time down by a few minutes.
