Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 3 tubes (8 ounces each) crescent roll sheets
- 1 ½ cups (360 g) apple butter, divided
Topping
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Roll out the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each tube of crescent roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. If using perforated dough, pinch seams to seal completely.
- Spread apple butter. Evenly spread ½ cup of apple butter over each dough rectangle.
- Roll up the dough. Starting at the long edge, tightly roll each dough sheet into a log shape.
- Cut the dough logs. Cut each log in half to create two shorter logs, then cut each of these lengthwise in half to form four sections per sheet.
- Repeat for all dough sheets. Perform the same cutting process for the remaining two dough sheets, resulting in 12 total dough sections.
- Form the cruffins. Working with one dough section at a time, place the layered side up and roll tightly into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking in the dough end to seal.
- Place in muffin tin. Arrange each rolled dough piece into the prepared muffin tin cups.
- Bake the cruffins. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-24 minutes or until the cruffins are puffed and golden brown.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping. While baking, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Coat the cruffins. Remove the cruffins from the oven and immediately roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve and enjoy. Let the cruffins cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for a delicious treat!
Notes
- Ensure to seal the seams on the crescent dough to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking when rolling out dough.
- Roll the dough sections tightly to maintain their shape when baking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture, but cooled cruffins can be reheated gently.
- These cruffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
