Customization Ideas

For a richer taste, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts to the filling for added texture and crunch.
Another option is to experiment with the glaze. Instead of a simple powdered sugar glaze, consider infusing it with vanilla extract or a splash of almond extract for a more complex flavor. You could even drizzle a chocolate glaze over the cooled cruffins for those who enjoy a sweeter treat. The options are endless, allowing you to make this recipe your own!

Storage Tips
To keep your Irresistible Peach Pie Cruffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for about a week. Just be sure to allow them to come to room temperature before serving so they retain their delightful texture.
For longer storage, consider freezing your unbaked cruffins. After assembling, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time for perfectly fresh cruffins.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your cruffins warm and freshly baked for the best taste experience. They pair beautifully with a variety of accompaniments such as a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat. For a more health-conscious option, try serving them with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh berries.
For special occasions, consider garnishing the cruffins with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or dusting them with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. A few mint leaves can also add a touch of freshness and color, enhancing the overall presentation.
