Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and press the seams together.
Mix the sugar, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Spread melted butter over the dough, and sprinkle half of the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
Place the second layer of dough on top and slice into 1-inch wide strips.
Roll each strip tightly from one end to the other to form a cruffin shape.
Dip each rolled cruffin into melted butter and coat with the leftover sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Place cruffins upright in a greased muffin tin and bake for about 20 minutes.
Let the cruffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
