Ingredients

For the Dumplings:

• 2 medium peaches, quartered and pitted (or canned peaches, drained)
• 8 oz pack of Pillsbury crescent roll dough
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Sauce:

• 3/4 cup Fresca citrus soda (or Sprite, 7-Up, or Mountain Dew)

Optional Garnish:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Powdered sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Dumplings

• Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
• Place a peach quarter on the wider end of each triangle and roll it up tightly, pinching the edges to seal.
• Arrange the wrapped peaches in the prepared baking dish with a little space between each dumpling.

3. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Glaze

• Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.

4. Assemble the Dish

• Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings, coating each one generously.
• Carefully pour the soda around (not over) the dumplings to create the caramel sauce base.

5. Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
• Let the dish cool for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

6. Serve and Enjoy

• Spoon the warm dumplings into bowls, ensuring each serving is drenched in the caramel sauce.
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for the perfect finishing touch.

Tips for Success

• Peach Selection: If using fresh peaches, leave the skins on for added texture. Drain canned peaches thoroughly to prevent excess liquid.
• Soda Choices: Fresca adds a unique citrus kick, but Sprite, 7-Up, or Mountain Dew work equally well.
• Extra Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for added texture.

Creative Variations

• Berry Bliss: Replace peaches with blueberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
• Spiced Flavor: Add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra warmth.
• Caramel Drizzle: After baking, drizzle caramel sauce over the dumplings for even more indulgence.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of flaky crescent dough, tender peaches, and a bubbling, caramel-like sauce is a winning formula. The soda helps create the perfect sauce consistency while enhancing the dish’s sweetness with a tangy twist. Simple yet elegant, this recipe turns pantry staples into a show-stopping dessert.
