Ingredients
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed but cold
3 large fresh peaches, finely diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced peaches, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 2: Cook the peaches for 5-7 minutes until they soften. Stir in the cornstarch and cook for another minute until the liquid thickens into a syrup. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Step 3: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Step 4: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 long strips (12 strips total).
Step 5: Spread a thin layer of the cooled peach filling along each strip of pastry, leaving a small margin at the edges.
Step 6: Carefully roll each strip tightly like a jelly roll and place them upright into the prepared muffin tin cups.
Step 7: Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the peach pie cruffins are puffed and a deep golden brown.
Step 8: While the cruffins are baking, mix the granulated sugar and remaining cinnamon in a small bowl.
Step 9: Remove the cruffins from the oven and, once cool enough to handle but still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture before serving.
Notes
Ensure the peach filling is completely cold before assembly to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. For the best results, use all-butter puff pastry.
