Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
- For the Peach Filling:
- 3 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips and layer them in a muffin tin, creating a cruffin shape.
- Fill each cruffin with the peach mixture, then fold the dough over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. The filling should be bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before drizzling with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk.
Notes
- Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Store leftover cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
