Ingredients

Scale

Dough

3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)

Filling

1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with liners, ensuring it’s ready to hold the cruffins during baking.
Mix Filling: In a small bowl, combine the peach preserves with ground cinnamon, stirring thoroughly to create a fragrant, spiced filling.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and press the seams firmly together to form large rectangles, creating a smooth base for the filling.
Add Filling: Spread the peach cinnamon mixture evenly over each dough rectangle, covering the surface completely for consistent flavor in every bite.
Form Twists: Roll the dough into logs carefully, then slice each log in half lengthwise and twist each half into a spiral shape, enhancing texture and presentation.
Bake: Place each twisted spiral into the prepared muffin liners and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins turn a beautiful golden brown.
Make Glaze: While the cruffins bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl until smooth and slightly runny for easy drizzling.
Glaze and Serve: Remove the cruffins from the oven, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over each warm cruffin to finish.

Notes

You can substitute peach preserves with other fruit preserves like apricot or raspberry for different flavors.
For a vegan option, use dairy-free heavy cream alternatives and check the crescent dough for dairy-free versions.
Make sure to press the dough seams well to avoid filling leakage during baking.
Glaze can be adjusted for consistency by adding more cream to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken.
Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
