Ingredients:
For the Cruffins:
1 package (2 sheets) refrigerated puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Peach Filling:
2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Extra peach slices for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the peach filling:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the puff pastry:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
3. Shape the cruffins:
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 long strips. Spread a thin layer of cooled peach filling over each strip. Roll up each strip like a cinnamon roll, then cut in half crosswise. Place each half (cut side up) into a muffin tin cavity.
4. Bake until golden:
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed, flaky, and golden brown. Let them cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
5. Garnish & serve:
Dust generously with powdered sugar and add fresh peach slices if desired. Serve warm for the ultimate treat.

✅ Use store-bought peach pie filling to save time.
