Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie dough (for versatile pie dough uses)
- ¾ cup peach preserves or fresh peaches (for fruity baked goods)
- 1 cup fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chopped nuts or streusel topping for added texture
Instructions
- Begin by combining the sliced peaches, peach preserves, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until well coated.
- Roll out your puff pastry or pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into rectangles or circles.
- Place a generous spoonful of the peach filling in the center of each dough piece.
- Carefully roll the dough around the filling to form a cruffin shape, similar to a cinnamon roll. Place these in a greased muffin tin or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally sprinkle streusel or chopped nuts on top.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the cruffins with beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
- Store cooled cruffins in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain flaky texture before serving.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
