Description
Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins are the ultimate pastry indulgence, blending the best of both croissants and muffins into one irresistible treat. With their flaky, buttery dough and a generous coating of sweet cinnamon sugar, these cruffins are sure to become a new favorite in your baking repertoire.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and press the perforations to seal the dough into one cohesive sheet. Brush the dough with the melted butter.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Tightly roll the dough into a log, then cut the log in half lengthwise.
5. Twist each half of the dough log and coil it into the prepared muffin cup, creating a swirled, muffin-like shape.
6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Allow the Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins to cool slightly, then sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar if desired. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of flaky, buttery dough and sweet cinnamon sugar.
Notes
Avoid overworking the dough to prevent it from becoming tough or dense.
Ensure even baking by rotating the muffin tin halfway through the baking time.
Don’t overbake; keep a close eye on the cruffins during the last few minutes of baking.
