What are cruffins?
A hybrid of a croissant and a muffin—layers of dough baked in a muffin tin. Can I make this with puff pastry?
Yes, but crescent dough is easier and just as delicious. Is homemade dough better?

For sure—dice and cook them into a quick jam or combine with preserves. Can I skip the glaze?
Yes—they’re still sweet and flavorful without it. How do I keep them from sticking?
Grease the pan well or use paper muffin liners. Can I prep them ahead?
Yes—assemble and refrigerate overnight, then bake fresh. Do they need to be served warm?
They’re best warm but also tasty at room temperature. Can I add cream cheese?
Yes—spread a thin layer under the preserves for a peach cheesecake vibe. What’s the best way to serve these?
With coffee or tea, for breakfast, dessert, or even brunch buffets. 🏁 Conclusion
These Peach Pie Cruffins are sweet, buttery, and bursting with juicy peach flavor—all wrapped in flaky, golden pastry layers. Simple enough for a weekday treat, but pretty enough to wow at brunch or summer parties. 🧡🥐🍑 If you’re craving something cozy and fruit-forward, this recipe is your perfect bite of sunshine.
