Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 fresh peaches
Dumplings
- 8 ounce tube crescent rolls
Spices
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided use)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
- 3/4 cup lemon lime soda (such as Sprite or Mountain Dew)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice Peaches: Cut each peach into quarters, resulting in 8 peach slices total. You may choose to peel the peaches or leave the skin on, as they soften during baking.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the 8-ounce tube of crescent rolls and separate into 8 individual triangles.
- Season Rolls: Sprinkle each crescent roll piece with a pinch of ground cinnamon for added flavor.
- Add Peach Slices: Place one peach slice at the larger end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll Dumplings: Roll up each crescent roll around the peach slice, tucking in the ends to create a neat bundle. Repeat with all pieces.
- Arrange Dumplings: Place all 8 peach dumplings seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Mix Butter Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth.
- Add Sauce to Dumplings: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the crescent roll bundles in the baking dish.
- Add Lemon-Lime Soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda around the edges and between the dumplings to create a light, bubbly sauce.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon: Lightly sprinkle a bit more ground cinnamon over the tops of the dumplings for extra spice and color.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Optionally serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a delicious finish.
Notes
- Peeling peaches is optional; baking softens the skin for a tender bite.
- Using lemon-lime soda adds a subtle citrusy sweetness and helps create a light sauce.
- For extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Ensure dumplings are placed seam-side down to prevent unrolling during baking.
