For the Cruffins:
- 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Peach Pie Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

🔥 How to Make Peach Pie Cruffins
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a small saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring until the mixture thickens.
Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a floured surface.
Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Step 3: Roll & Cut
Spread a thin layer of the cooled peach filling over the pastry.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log, then slice it lengthwise down the middle to expose the layers.
Roll each half into a spiral and place it in a muffin cup, cut side facing up.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Every bite is buttery, flaky, and bursting with peach pie flavor! 🍑✨
🍽️ Tips for the Perfect Cruffins
- Use cold puff pastry: It gives you those signature flaky layers.
- Don’t overfill: A small amount of filling goes a long way!
- Get creative: Try swapping peaches for apples, berries, or cherries.
- Make ahead: Assemble the cruffins and chill before baking for the flakiest texture.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
- Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes to refresh the crispiness.
- Freeze: Wrap unbaked cruffins and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
