How to make Peach Pie Cruffins
Ingredients
3 cans refrigerated crescent dough (8 ounces each)
1 cup peach preserves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners. Mix peach preserves and cinnamon together in a bowl. Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to form rectangles. Spread the peach mixture evenly over each dough rectangle. Roll the dough into logs, slice them in half, and twist each piece into a spiral. Place the twists into the muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden. Whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream to make a glaze, then drizzle over the warm cruffins.
