1 cup peach preserves (organic if possible)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners.
In a bowl, mix the peach preserves and cinnamon together until well combined.
Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to form rectangles.
Spread the peach mixture evenly over each dough rectangle.
Roll the dough into logs, slice them in half, and twist each piece into a spiral shape.
Place the twists into the muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream to make a glaze, and then drizzle it over the warm cruffins.
