🍑 Southern Peach Dumplings with Buttery Cinnamon Sauce 💛
Flaky, juicy, caramelized goodness in every bite! 🥰🔥
📝 Ingredients:
- 2 fresh peaches (or 1 large can, drained) 🍑
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 pieces) 🥐
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon ✨
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup Sprite, 7-Up, or any lemon-lime soda 🥤 (trust the magic!)
🔄 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9×13 inches).
- Peel and slice the peaches into 8 slices. If using canned, drain them well.
- Wrap each peach slice in a triangle of crescent dough, rolling from the thick end to the point. Place them in your baking dish with the seam side down. 🌀
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla — stir until combined and silky. Don’t boil! Just warm and smooth. 💫
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dumplings. Then pour the soda gently around the edges of the dish — not directly on top of the dumplings. This makes that amazing caramel sauce as it bakes! 😍
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the tops are golden and the sauce is bubbling beautifully.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top 🍨💖
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Use apples 🍏 or plums instead of peaches for a twist
- Add a dash of nutmeg or brown sugar for extra cozy vibes
- Double the sauce if you like it super gooey and caramelized 🤤
