Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Canned peaches | 2 (15 oz) cans | Drained |
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 2 (8 ounce) cans | |
| Butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) | Melted |
| Granulated sugar | 2/3 cup | |
| Brown sugar | 2/3 cup | Packed |
| Cinnamon | 3 teaspoons | Divided |
| Sprite or citrus soda | 1 ½ cups | |
| Vanilla ice cream | For serving |
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare Peach Dumplings: Open the cans of crescent roll dough and separate them into individual triangles.
- Wrap Peaches: Place one or two slices of drained peach (depending on their size) at the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle the peach slices with a small pinch of cinnamon. Roll the dough around the peach slices, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point, to create a sealed dumpling.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Once each peach slice is wrapped in dough, place the dumpling seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Arrange them in a single layer. Repeat this process with the remaining peach slices and dough triangles.
- Make Butter Sauce: In a large bowl, melt the two sticks of butter. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the remaining cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Sauce Over Dumplings: Using a large spoon, pour the entire butter and sugar mixture evenly over the arranged peach dumplings in the baking dish.
- Add Soda: Carefully pour the Sprite or other citrus soda around the edges of the dough in the baking dish, avoiding pouring directly over the tops of the dumplings. This helps the tops stay a bit crispier.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and just beginning to brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the Easy Peach Dumplings from the oven and serve them warm. For the ultimate treat, top each serving with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. Enjoy this simple and delicious dessert!
