Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup warm milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for filling)
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and finely diced (about 2 medium peaches)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add warm milk and egg. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add softened butter and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. If dough is sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
  4. Cover bowl with a towel or plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, toss diced peaches with lemon juice, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Let sit while dough rests.
  6. In another bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for filling. Melt butter for brushing.
  7. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll dough into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
  8. Brush surface with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  9. Scatter peach cobbler filling over the dough, leaving a half-inch border.
  10. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice dough lengthwise into 6 strips.
  11. Roll each strip into a spiral, starting from one short end. Tuck the end underneath and place each spiral into a greased muffin tin cup.
  12. Cover muffin tin lightly with a towel. Let cruffins rise in a warm spot for 10 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake cruffins for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Rotate pan halfway through baking.
  14. While cruffins are hot, mix sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle over tops, or roll each cruffin in cinnamon sugar.
  15. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use firm, ripe peaches for best flavor. Frozen or canned peaches (drained and dried) work as substitutes. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, swap flour and butter/milk as needed. Don’t overfill with peaches to avoid bursting. For extra sparkle, roll cruffins in cinnamon sugar after baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month.
