Ingredients
  

Peach Filling
  • 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced Select perfectly ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar Adjust according to sweetness preference.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Helps absorb juices to prevent sogginess.

  3. Unroll the refrigerated croissant dough into a flat sheet. Cut each triangle at the base into smaller triangles.
  4. In a muffin tin, lightly grease each cup, then take a triangle of the dough, and form it into a cup shape, slightly overlapping the edges.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the peach mixture into each croissant cup, being careful not to overfill.
  6. Brush the edges of the dough with the melted butter and an egg wash for a golden finish.
Baking
