What exactly is a 'cruffin'?

A cruffin is a hybrid pastry that blends the buttery layers of a croissant with the form and ease of a muffin. Peach Pie Cruffins are a quick version made with crescent dough, giving you that same layered look and buttery texture in far less time.

Can I use other fruit preserves instead of peach?

Definitely. While Peach Pie Cruffins highlight the sweetness of peach preserves, the recipe works just as well with other flavors like strawberry, apricot, or apple butter. You can switch up the spices too try cardamom with apple or nutmeg with mixed berries.

How do I know when the cruffins are done baking?

Look for a golden, puffed top and slightly crisp edges. A bit of bubbling from the filling is normal and adds flavor. To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick into the center if it comes out clean, your cruffins are perfectly baked.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare Peach Pie Cruffins ahead by assembling them the night before and storing them in the muffin tin in the fridge. Bake fresh in the morning with a few extra minutes added. Baked ones can also be reheated in the oven the next day and still taste delicious.
