  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 cruffins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
  • 3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and peaches soften, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly before using.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares, roughly 4×4 inches.
  3. Spoon a generous amount of peach filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold the edges over and roll gently to seal the filling inside. Place the filled pastry rolls into a greased muffin tin, seam side down.
  4. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny finish and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or honey if desired.

Notes

  • ensure the peach filling is cooled before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • for best results, use fresh, ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
