EASY PEACH DUMPLINGS

By peridot728

These Easy Peach Dumplings are soft and gooey on the bottom, but crispy on top, and taste like peach cobbler. Crazy easy and ridiculously delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 medium peaches, cut into 4 wedges, pit removed (Canned peaches work, too! See Recipe Notes)
• 8 ounce refrigerated Pillsbury crescent roll dough
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup citrus Fresca soda
• vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Separate the crescent dough into 8 triangles.
Place a peach wedge near the small end of the dough triangle, then roll up. Pinch the ends to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Add in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon; stir until combined and smooth.
Drizzle butter mixture over the dough.
Pour the Fresca to the sides of the dumplings (not on top!) so a nice crust is formed while baking.
Bake until golden brown and peaches are tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes.
Serve for dessert with some vanilla ice cream or a very decadent breakfast!

Recipe Notes:
1. I don’t think fresh peaches need to be peeled for these - their skin seems to break down and get perfectly tender from baking, but feel free to peel them if you want. If using canned peaches, you’ll want a 29 ounce can of Halves.

2. 7-Up, Sprite, or Mountain Dew can be used instead of Fresca, but Fresca gives these a slight citrus-y flavor to the biscuits. Plus Fresca has zero calories, so the alternatives will tack on some. Diet soda is not ideal because some won't thicken the sauce the same, and some artificial sweeteners will break down when heated, but you can try it!

3. Need to feed more than 4 people? No problem. Just double all the ingredients and bake in a 9x13 pan.
