Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 8 wedges each
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peach soda or lemon-lime soda
Optional
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Assemble the dumplings: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place one peach slice at the wide end of each triangle, then carefully roll the dough around the peach, tucking the edges in slightly to seal the dumpling.
- Arrange dumplings in baking dish: Place each wrapped dumpling seam side down in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly for uniform baking.
- Make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is combined and smooth.
- Pour glaze over dumplings: Evenly pour the buttery spiced sugar mixture over the dumplings, coating them thoroughly for a rich, flavorful topping.
- Add soda: Carefully pour the peach or lemon-lime soda around the dumplings in the dish, avoiding pouring directly over them to maintain the glaze’s texture and help create bubbling caramelization during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the dumplings turn golden brown and the sauce is bubbly and fragrant.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the peach dumplings warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired for a creamy contrast.
Notes
- Fresh peaches provide the best flavor and texture, but canned or frozen peaches (thawed and drained) are acceptable substitutes.
- For a twist, substitute apple slices for peaches to change the flavor profile.
- Ensure the soda is poured around the dumplings gently to avoid washing away the glaze.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert but is optional.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level in the dish.
