Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry
  
  

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• ½ cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  
  

• Pinch of salt
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
   
   

2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough or puff pastry on a clean surface. If using crescent dough, pinch the perforated seams together to form one large sheet. If using puff pastry, simply unfold it into a rectangle.
   
   

3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
   
   

4. Assemble the Cruffins: Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
   
   

5. Roll and Shape: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
   
   

6. Place in Muffin Tin: Gently coil each slice into a spiral and place it into a muffin cup.
   
   

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cruffins are golden brown.
   
   

8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with icing or enjoy as is.
