Easy Peach Crescent Dumplings Recipe

Introduction

Easy Peach Crescent Dumplings are a delightful and simple dessert that combines juicy peaches with buttery crescent dough. With a sweet cinnamon glaze and a splash of lemon-lime soda, this treat bakes into a golden, tender delight perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 29 ounce can of peach slices or halves, cut in half
• 8 ounce refrigerated Pillsbury crescent roll dough
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup citrus Fresca soda (7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, or ginger ale)
• Optional: vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles and gently pat each triangle to slightly enlarge it.
3. Step 3: Place one peach wedge near the large end of each triangle, then carefully roll the dough over the peach. Transfer each rolled dumpling to the prepared baking dish.
4. Step 4: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the tops of the dumplings.
5. Step 5: Pour the citrus soda around the sides of the dumplings, being careful not to pour over the tops to keep the butter mixture in place for a golden crust.
6. Step 6: Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the peaches are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
7. Step 7: Serve warm. For an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or enjoy the dumplings on their own.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh peaches in season for a bright, natural flavor, adjusting baking time as needed.
• Swap the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale to add a subtle spicy note.
• Sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the dumplings before baking for extra texture.
• For a richer variation, add a splash of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture.

Storage

Store leftover peach crescent dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warm to preserve the soft texture and flavor. It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be warmed for a quick dessert any time.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes, fresh peaches can be used. Choose ripe but firm peaches, peel and slice them similarly, and watch the baking time as fresh peaches might cook a little faster or slower depending on ripeness.

What type of soda works best in this recipe?

Any lemon-lime soda works well to give a light, sweet fizz that complements the peaches and cinnamon. Options like Fresca, 7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, or ginger ale are all suitable choices.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Fruit and Dough

• 29 ounce can of peach slices or halves, cut in half
• 8 ounce refrigerated Pillsbury crescent roll dough

Butter Sugar Mixture

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Soda

• 3/4 cup citrus Fresca soda (or 7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, or any lemon-lime soda)

Optional

• Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Crescent Dough: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 individual triangles. Gently pat each triangle out a bit larger to better wrap the peach pieces.
3. Assemble Dumplings: Place a peach wedge near the wide end of each dough triangle, then carefully roll the dough around the peach, sealing as you go. Place each rolled dumpling seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
4. Make Butter Sugar Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir into the melted butter the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Apply Topping and Add Soda: Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the tops of all the dumplings. Then slowly pour the citrus soda around the edges of the dumplings in the baking dish, making sure not to pour the soda over the dumplings to keep the topping intact for a golden crust.
6. Bake: Bake the dumplings in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the peaches are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Rest and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the dumplings to stand for 10 minutes. This resting time helps thicken the sauce. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

• Use any lemon-lime soda such as 7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, or Fresca for the citrus soda component.
• Be careful to pour the soda around the dumplings and not over them to ensure the topping stays on and forms a nice crust.
• Letting the dumplings rest after baking helps the sauce thicken to a desirable consistency.
• Serving warm with vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert experience but is completely optional.
• You can substitute fresh peaches if in season, peeled and sliced, but canned peaches work best for consistent results.
