Preparing these delicious Peach Pie Cruffins at home is easier than you might think. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly.
2. Prepare Peach Filling: In a bowl, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated, then set aside to macerate.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the refrigerated croissant dough on a clean surface. Pinch the seams together to create a single sheet of dough.
4. Shape the Dough: Cut the dough into six equal triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up toward the point, creating a log shape.
5. Arrange in Muffin Tin: Place each rolled cruffin into the muffin tin, ensuring the point is tucked underneath. This helps maintain their shape during baking.
6. Fill with Peaches: Gently press down in the center of each cruffin and add a generous tablespoon of the peach filling.
7. Top with Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar. Brush the tops of the cruffins with this mixture, then sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
8. Prepare Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the cruffins to achieve a beautiful golden color.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
10. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the cruffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an extra touch of sweetness and presentation, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll have delicious cruffins that are both beautiful and flavorful.
