Easy Peach Dumplings
When it comes to dumplings, our general opinion is that you can’t go wrong. Carbs? Yes please. Carbs with a delicious treat tucked inside? Even better. These easy peach dumplings fall into the later category and we promise you’ll be hooked with the first bite!
We first tried a similar version of apple dumplings at a potluck a few years back and knew we needed to find a summery version. Peaches were just the thing! While we did use canned peaches here, we highly recommend going with fresh peaches when they’re available! You also have some flexibility on your soda choice. We’ve seen people use Sprite, Mountain Dew, 7 Up, Fresca, or even orange soda! Really anything with a little fizz and a citrusy flavor will do the trick.
INGREDIENTS
2 15 oz canned peaches, drained
2 8 ounce refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 ½ cups cup sprite or citrus soda
vanilla ice cream, for
serving
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and thoroughly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Open crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place one or two peach slices (depending on size) at the wide end of the dough triangle. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon and roll dough around peach.
Once dough is secure, move dumpling to the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Melt the two sticks of butter in a large bowl and combine with the white sugar, brown sugar, and the remaining cinnamon until smooth.
Using a large spoon, pour the butter mixture over the dumplings.
Pour the Sprite around the dough avoiding the tops for a crispy crust to the dumplings.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the dough is just browning on top.
Serve warm and top with vanilla ice cream.
