Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup canned peach pie filling
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine peach pie filling with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Chop any large peach pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold thawed puff pastry and roll gently to smooth creases into a 9×12 inch rectangle.
- Spread peach filling evenly over pastry, leaving 1/2-inch border along one longer edge.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the filled pastry lengthwise into 3-4 long strips.
- Roll each strip into a tight spiral from one short end, then stand upright in greased muffin tin cups.
- Beat egg with water and brush tops of cruffins with egg wash.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 22-28 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Cool in tin for 5 minutes, transfer to wire rack, and dust with powdered sugar when just warm.

- Don’t overfill pastry to keep spirals distinct
