Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
-
Roll out the crescent dough and cut it into squares along the perforations.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
-
Brush each dough square with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
-
Fold the dough squares into a cruffin shape and place them into the muffin tin, stacking them if needed to form a layered effect.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Once out of the oven, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
-
Chocolate Cruffins: Add a few pieces of chocolate to the center of each cruffin before baking for a chocolaty twist.
-
Berry Filling: Add fresh or frozen berries between the dough layers for a fruity variation.
-
Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or almonds over the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added crunch.
-
Vegan Cruffins: Use plant-based butter and dairy-free dough to make these vegan-friendly.
