Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
Dough:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Gently unfurl the crescent roll dough and carefully separate each triangle.
- Encase a single peach slice within each triangle, rolling from the broader edge toward the pointed tip, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange the wrapped peaches snugly in the prepared baking dish.
- Combine melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the sweet mixture evenly across the top of the dumplings, allowing it to cascade between the pastry pockets.
- Gently pour the carbonated soda around the sides of the dumplings, creating a liquid perimeter without directly covering the pastry.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the dumplings transform into a rich golden brown with bubbling edges.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, allowing the caramel sauce to slightly thicken.
- Serve while warm, spooning the decadent caramel sauce over each dumpling and complementing with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Select ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness in your dumplings.
- Ensure crescent dough is cold when wrapping peaches to maintain clean, neat edges.
- Experiment with different sodas like sprite or mountain dew for subtle flavor variations.
- Consider using gluten-free crescent dough to make this dessert celiac-friendly and inclusive for those with dietary restrictions.
