How to Make the Recipe
Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your Peach Pie Cruffins:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure to do this first so your oven is ready when you are!
- In a bowl, mix the chopped peaches with the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices and the flavors to meld together.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Don’t overwork the dough—puff pastry is delicate, so handle it gently to maintain its flaky texture.
- Cut the pastry into 4-inch squares. You should be able to get about 8-10 squares, depending on how you cut them.
- Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners towards the center and pinch to seal. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Brush each cruffin with the egg wash. This will give them a golden brown finish when baked.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cruffins are golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to help you make the best Peach Pie Cruffins possible:
- Use ripe peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and juicier your filling will be. If your peaches aren’t ripe yet, let them sit at room temperature for a day or two to ripen.
- Don’t overfill: While it’s tempting to add as much filling as possible, overfilling can lead to a mess during baking. A small spoonful in the center is plenty.
- Chill the dough: If you find the puff pastry getting too soft while rolling it out, pop it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to firm up before continuing.
How to Serve
Now comes the fun part—serving! Here are a few ideas for how to enjoy your Peach Pie Cruffins:
- Serve warm: Fresh out of the oven is always the best way to enjoy these cruffins. The combination of warm, flaky pastry and sweet peach filling is absolute perfection.
- Add a scoop of ice cream: Top your cruffin with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream for an extra-special treat.
- Pair with coffee or tea: These cruffins make a great breakfast or brunch item. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a delicious start to your day.
Make Ahead and Storage
Want to make these cruffins ahead of time? Here’s how:
- Make ahead: You can prepare the peach filling and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The puff pastry can also be thawed and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Store leftovers: Baked cruffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven.
- Reheat: To reheat, place the cruffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through.
