🛒 Ingredients

  • 🥐 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 🍑 1 cup peach pie filling (canned or fresh peaches tossed with sugar & cinnamon)
  • 🧈 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 🍬 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 🌰 1 tsp ground cinnamon

(Optional garnish: powdered sugar or a drizzle of vanilla glaze)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven – Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
  2. Prepare the Dough – Roll out the crescent roll dough into a flat sheet. Pinch seams together to create a solid rectangle.
  3. Butter & Sugar Layer – Brush the surface with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Add the Peaches – Spread peach pie filling across the dough in a thin layer (don’t overload or it may leak).
  5. Roll & Slice – Roll the dough up into a log, then cut into 6 equal pieces.
  6. Arrange in Muffin Tin – Place each swirl, cut-side up, into the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Bake – Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Cool & Serve – Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired.

🥄 Methods

  • Rolling Method: Ensures flaky layers by keeping the dough tight.
  • Swirl Method: Creates the classic “cruffin” spiral look.
  • Baking Method: Moderate heat allows the dough to cook through without burning the sugar.

📜 History

The cruffin originated in Melbourne, Australia, in the early 2010s and quickly spread to bakeries worldwide. It combines the elegance of a croissant with the approachable form of a muffin. By adding peaches, this version ties in the classic American peach pie, which has been a summer favorite for centuries, especially in the Southern United States.
