If you’ve ever wanted to combine the elegance of a croissant, the cozy charm of pie, and the playful look of a muffin, cruffins are your answer. And when you add juicy peaches into the mix? You get the irresistible Peach Pie Cruffin—a golden, flaky, fruit-filled pastry that tastes like summer wrapped in buttery layers.
This recipe is simple enough to make at home (especially with store-bought puff pastry), yet it delivers that “wow” factor usually reserved for fancy bakeries. Imagine warm, caramelized peaches tucked into delicate layers of pastry and topped with a sprinkle of sugar. Every bite is crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and bursting with peach pie flavor.
