How to Serve Peach Pie Cruffins
Peach Pie Cruffins are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. You can serve them as they are, or you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra treat. These delightful treats can also be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea.
How to Store Peach Pie Cruffins
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store your Peach Pie Cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can place them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To enjoy them warm again, simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes.
Tips to Make Peach Pie Cruffins
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
- Feel free to use homemade peach filling if you have it, or swap with other fruit fillings like apple or berry for a different twist.
- Make sure not to over-bake them; keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to get the perfect golden color.
Variation
You can also make these cruffins using different types of dough, like puff pastry or biscuit dough, to create unique textures. Additionally, you can incorporate other fruits or nuts into the filling for added flavors and crunch.
