Easy Peach Dumplings

Step 3: Roll the Dumplings

• Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
• Place one or two peach slices at the wide end of each triangle.
• Roll the dough over the peach, tucking the ends under slightly to seal.
• Arrange the wrapped dumplings seam-side down in the baking dish.

🌀 Dough Tip: Crescent rolls make this dessert easy and flaky. You can also use puff pastry for a fancier version.

Step 4: Make the Buttery Cinnamon Sauce

• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Stir in sugar and cinnamon (and nutmeg or allspice if using).
• Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling, remove from heat.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.

🔥 Note: The sugar doesn’t need to dissolve completely—it forms a syrup while baking.

Step 5: Pour and Add Soda

• Spoon the buttery cinnamon mixture evenly over the dumplings.
• Gently pour the lemon-lime soda around (not over) the dumplings in the pan.
• The soda will help form a luscious, bubbling sauce as it bakes.

🥤 Why soda? The carbonation lightens the syrup and creates a slightly crisp, caramelized base.

Step 6: Bake

• Place the baking dish in the oven.
• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

🎯 Doneness Tip: The crescent dough should be crisp on top but soft and soaked in syrup at the base.

Step 7: Cool Slightly and Serve

• Let the dumplings rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
• Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

🍦 Serving Suggestion: A scoop of cold vanilla ice cream melting into the warm dumplings creates a magical bite.

Storage & Reheating

• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes or in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
• These dumplings are best served warm, as the sauce thickens and the dough stays flaky.
