Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 fresh peaches
- 1 can canned peaches
Dough and Coating:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar (for syrup)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water (for syrup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray. Thoroughly clean fresh peaches, quartering and removing pits, or drain canned peaches completely.
- Carefully unroll crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles. Position a peach slice at the narrow end of each triangle, rolling gently to completely encase the fruit and seal edges securely.
- Place wrapped peaches in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then incorporate granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk until the mixture transforms into a smooth, homogeneous sauce.
- Drizzle the sugar-butter mixture uniformly over the dumplings, ensuring each piece receives a generous coating that will caramelize during baking.
- Gently pour Fresca soda around the dish’s perimeter, creating a moisture barrier that will help develop a crispy bottom and tender top during the 35-40 minute baking process.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake until the dumplings turn golden brown and the sauce bubbles tantalizingly around the edges.
Notes
- Swap peaches for other stone fruits like nectarines or apricots to add variety and keep the recipe exciting.
- Use gluten-free crescent roll dough to make this recipe celiac-friendly and inclusive for different dietary needs.
- Replace regular sugar with coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener for a lower glycemic index version that’s friendlier to blood sugar levels.
