Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Irresistible Peach Pie Cruffins.

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares. Brush with melted butter.

Assemble the Cruffins

Place a spoonful of the peach mixture in the center of each pastry square, then fold the corners over to create a cup shape.

Bake

Place the cruffins in a muffin tin and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious creations!

Storage and Serving Suggestions

These Irresistible Peach Pie Cruffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later. Simply keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain their flaky texture. If you want them to last longer, consider refrigerating them, though they may lose some of their crispness. A quick reheat in the oven can help restore that delightful crunch.

For a fun twist, serve these cruffins with a selection of toppings. Fresh whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a scoop of ice cream can elevate your breakfast experience into a fun dessert approach. You can even add a drizzle of caramel sauce for a special treat, making them a perfect choice for festive occasions.

Variations to Try

While peach is the star of this recipe, feel free to experiment with other fruits as well. Blueberries, cherries, and even mixed berries can replace the peaches for exciting flavor profiles. Each fruit brings its unique sweetness and acidity, allowing you to tailor the recipe to your seasonal cravings or what you have on hand in your pantry.

Additionally, consider incorporating a cream cheese filling or a layer of almond paste for richness. Swirling in some fruit preserves can also add an extra depth of flavor. These variations not only keep the recipe fresh but also encourage creativity in the kitchen, allowing you to discover new favorite combinations.
