Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the peaches begin to soften and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal rectangles.
Place a spoonful of the peach filling onto the center of each pastry rectangle.
Roll up each rectangle from one end to the other, forming a spiral shape.
Place the cruffins into a muffin tin, ensuring they are snug and upright.
Brush the tops of each cruffin with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cruffins are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the cruffins to cool slightly before dusting them with powdered sugar.

Notes

If you prefer a different fruit, you can substitute the peaches with apples, pears, or berries.
For added flavor, try incorporating a pinch of cardamom or allspice into the filling.
Store the cruffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
For a sweeter touch, drizzle a sugar glaze over the cruffins after they cool.
