Ingredients:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) of peaches, drained
- 2 packages (8 oz each) of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter
- 2/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup of brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups of Sprite or citrus soda
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Dough Preparation:
- Open the packages of crescent roll dough.
- Unroll and separate the dough into individual triangles.
- Assembling the Dumplings:
- Place one or two peach slices (depending on their size) at the wider end of each dough triangle.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the peaches for added flavor.
- Carefully roll the dough around the peach slices, starting from the wide end, ensuring that the peach is completely enclosed within the dough.
- Arranging in Baking Dish:
- Once each dumpling is rolled, place it in the greased baking dish.
- Repeat this process until all of the dough and peach slices are used.
- Preparing the Sauce:
- In a large bowl, melt the butter.
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon to the melted butter.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Adding the Sauce and Soda:
- Gently pour the butter and sugar mixture over the arranged dumplings, ensuring each is evenly coated.
- Carefully pour the Sprite or citrus soda around the dumplings in the baking dish. Aim to pour around the dough, not over the tops, to maintain a crispier crust.
- Baking:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dough turns a golden brown on top.
- Serving:
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven.
- Allow the dumplings to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each dumpling for a delightful contrast of warm and cold.
Additional Tips:
- Fruit Variations: While this recipe uses peaches, feel free to experiment with other fruits like apples or pears.
- Spice Variations: Nutmeg or cardamom can be used alongside or instead of cinnamon for a different flavor profile.
- Serving Suggestion: These dumplings pair wonderfully with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
- Storage: Leftover dumplings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Enjoy your delicious and easy peach dumplings!
