Ingredients
- 3 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent roll sheets
- 6 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Roll out each crescent dough sheet into a 12″ x 16″ rectangle. If using regular crescent rolls, pinch the seams together.
- Spread 3 tbsp softened butter evenly over each sheet.
- In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle ¼ cup of the mixture evenly over each dough sheet.
- Roll each sheet tightly into a log from the long side.
- Cut each log in half, then slice each half lengthwise to create four sections per sheet.
- Roll each section into a spiral and place into the muffin tin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While warm, roll baked cruffins in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve.
Notes
- Glazed Cruffins: Drizzle with a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk.
- Nutty Crunch: Add chopped pecans or walnuts before rolling.
- Pumpkin Spice Twist: Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice for a fall-inspired flavor.
