This recipe is not only incredibly simple but also packed with flavors that will make your taste buds dance with joy.

Ingredients

• 2 large fresh peaches (or 1 can of peach halves, drained)
• 1 can of crescent roll dough
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)

How to Make Easy Peach Dumplings

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Peaches

If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and halve them, removing the pits. If you’re using canned peaches, ensure they are well-drained.

Step 3: Wrap the Peaches

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a peach half at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up, enclosing the peach completely.

Step 4: Arrange in the Dish

Place the wrapped peaches in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each dumpling.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture evenly over the peach dumplings.

Step 6: Add the Soda

Pour the lemon-lime soda around (not over) the dumplings, ensuring it spreads evenly in the dish.

Step 7: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. The smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!

Step 8: Serve

Let the dumplings cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re fantastic on their own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Helpful Tips

• Peach Choice: Fresh peaches provide a more vibrant flavor, but canned peaches work perfectly when you’re short on time.
• Rolling Technique: Ensure the dough fully encloses the peach to keep all the juicy goodness inside.
• Sauce: Don’t pour the soda directly over the dumplings, as it can make the tops soggy.

Substitutions and Variations

• Fruit Variations: Try this recipe with apples, pears, or even plums for a different twist.
• Spices: Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth.
• Dough Alternatives: Puff pastry can be used instead of crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches?

Yes, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.

What if I don’t have lemon-lime soda?

You can use ginger ale or even a light beer for a unique flavor twist.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

While it’s best served fresh, you can prepare the dumplings and refrigerate them uncooked for up to a day. Bake just before serving.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warm.
