Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large peach: Fresh, ripe peaches are the star of this recipe, bringing sweetness and juiciness to the dumplings. Make sure your peach is ripe but firm enough to hold up during baking.
  • 1 (8-ounce) tube of refrigerated crescent rolls: These rolls create the flaky, golden exterior that’s a hallmark of peach dumplings. Crescent rolls are easy to work with and provide a quick solution for the dough base.
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted: Butter adds richness to the dish and helps bring out the flavors of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • 3/4 cup sugar: Sweetens the sauce and creates a caramelized glaze on the dumplings as they bake.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon: This classic spice adds warmth and depth to the dish, making it taste like a homemade treat.
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: This helps thicken the sauce, giving it a syrupy texture that coats the dumplings beautifully.
  • 3/4 cup lemon-lime soda: The fizzy soda provides a bit of sweetness and a slight effervescence, helping to create a syrup around the dumplings as they bake.

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your peach dumplings will bake evenly and achieve that beautiful golden brown color.
  • Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly spray an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This prevents the dumplings from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Slice the Peach: Peel your peach and slice it into eight wedges, removing the pit. Fresh peaches work best for this recipe, as they hold their shape better than canned peaches. However, canned peaches can be used as a substitute if you’re in a pinch. Be sure to drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
  • Unroll the Crescent Rolls: Open the tube of refrigerated crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Place one slice of peach on the wide end of each crescent roll, then roll it up tightly, ensuring the peach is securely wrapped.
  • Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir until everything is well combined. This mixture will create a sweet, gooey sauce that coats the dumplings as they bake.
  • Coat the Dumplings: Spoon the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each crescent-wrapped peach, ensuring each dumpling gets a nice coating of the buttery mixture.
  • Add the Lemon-Lime Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda carefully around the dumplings, being cautious not to pour it directly over the top of the dumplings. The soda will help create a syrupy sauce that gives the dumplings a delicious, slightly tangy sweetness.
  • Bake the Dumplings: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the dumplings. The dumplings should look crisp on the outside, while remaining soft and juicy on the inside.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the dumplings are golden and bubbling, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve them warm. These dumplings are perfect on their own, but you can also pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use Ripe, Firm Peaches: Overripe peaches can get mushy when baked. Choose firm, ripe peaches for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure Even Baking: If you have trouble rolling the dough, don’t worry! Just make sure the dough is tightly sealed around the peach slice to prevent any of the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Monitor the Oven: Oven temperatures can vary, so check the dumplings after about 30 minutes. If they’re golden brown and bubbly, they’re ready to be removed.
  • Adjust for Altitude: If you live at a high altitude, you might need to adjust the baking time slightly. Just keep an eye on the dumplings to prevent over-baking.
  • Thicken the Sauce: If your sauce seems too runny, you can add a little more flour to the mixture or let it bake a little longer to thicken up.
