Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Arrange in the Dish: Place the wrapped peaches in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each dumpling.
- 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.
- Add the Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda around (not over) the dumplings, ensuring it spreads evenly in the dish.
- 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!!
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
