![- 1 cup ripe peaches, peeled and diced - 3 tablespoons sugar (divided) - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 large egg - ¾ cup milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup pre-made croissant dough (store-bought or homemade) - Optional: powdered sugar for dusting Gathering your ingredients is the first step. Start with ripe peaches. They should be soft, sweet, and fragrant. Dice them into small pieces. Next, grab your sugar. You will need three tablespoons, but save two for later. Cinnamon will add warmth to your filling, so don’t skip it. Next, you will need flour, baking powder, and salt. These are your dry ingredients. For the wet part, get unsalted butter, an egg, milk, and vanilla extract. You can use store-bought croissant dough or make your own; either works. Lastly, if you like, get some powdered sugar for a sweet finish. This mix of ingredients creates a tasty treat. You will enjoy the sweet peaches wrapped in flaky dough. Make sure you have everything ready. This makes cooking easier and more fun. Check the [Full Recipe] for detailed steps! To start, mix 1 cup of ripe peaches, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. This blend brings out the sweetness and spice. Stir well and let this mix sit for about 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld nicely. The peaches will soften, making for a tasty filling. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, combine ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 large egg, ¾ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Avoid over-mixing; you want it just combined. Now, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking. Roll out 1 cup of pre-made croissant dough into thin rectangles. Cut the dough into 2-3 long strips. Layer these strips slightly overlapping. This layering creates a nice texture in the cruffins. Take a small spoonful of the peach filling and place it at the end of each dough strip. Roll it up tightly from the filling end, tucking the edges in as you go. Gently press to seal the cruffins. This helps keep the filling inside while baking. Place each rolled cruffin in the greased muffin tin. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. They should look golden brown and puffed up. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait! Once baked, let the cruffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, move them to a cooling rack. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. This final step adds beauty and flavor. For the full recipe, check the details above. To get the right texture for your cruffins, focus on your dough. Use cold ingredients for a flaky crust. This helps create layers that puff up nicely when baked. Don't rush the mixing. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently to keep the air in. This air is key for that perfect rise. To avoid sogginess, make sure your peach filling isn’t too wet. Drain excess juice before adding it to the dough. This keeps your cruffins light and fluffy. Also, allow the filling to macerate first. This step enhances the flavor and reduces moisture. Pair your warm cruffins with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Both add a creamy touch. For drinks, try pairing them with iced tea or a light rosé. The fruity flavors complement the cruffins well. When serving, warm cruffins taste best. The heat brings out the peach flavor. However, chilled cruffins can also be delightful, especially on a hot day. Store them in the fridge for a refreshing treat later. To reheat leftover cruffins, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. This helps regain their crispness. Avoid the microwave, as it can make them soggy. You can also repurpose cruffins into a delicious bread pudding. Tear them into pieces, mix with custard, and bake until golden. This adds a fun twist to your leftover treats. For more ideas, check the Full Recipe. {{image_2}} You can swap peaches for other fruits. Try apples, berries, or cherries. Seasonal fruits also work well. In summer, use ripe strawberries or plums. In fall, pears or apples shine in this recipe. Each fruit brings its own sweet twist. If you need gluten-free options, use gluten-free flour. You can also find gluten-free croissant dough. For a vegan twist, replace the egg with flaxseed meal. Use almond milk instead of regular milk. These changes make the cruffins tasty for everyone. Enhance flavors by adding spices. Try nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth. You can also add a splash of almond extract. For crunch, incorporate chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts. Want a sweet twist? Add chocolate chips for a rich flavor. Check out the Full Recipe for more details on making your Peach Pie Cruffins. Storing your cruffins correctly keeps them tasty. You can store them at room temperature or in the fridge. If you keep them at room temperature, place them in a sealed container. This helps to keep them fresh for up to 2 days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the fridge. They can stay fresh for about 5 days this way. You can also freeze cruffins for up to 3 months. Wrap each cruffin in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. When you want to enjoy one, just take it out and let it thaw. To keep your cruffins soft, avoid stacking them. This can make them soggy. Instead, let them sit in a single layer. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cruffins on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes. This brings back their crispness and warmth. You can also use a microwave, but they may lose some texture. Just heat them for 15-20 seconds. Enjoy your Peach Pie Cruffins from the Full Recipe!
