Peach Dumplings: Flaky crescent rolls, sweet peaches, butter, cinnamon, and a splash of Sprite come together in this irresistible dessert!
Okay, I need to share a little confession: I have a serious weakness for desserts that taste like you’ve been slaving away in the kitchen—but really, they’re embarrassingly easy. Peach Dumplings fall right into that magical category. The first time I made them, I wasn’t even planning on dessert. It was one of those days where everything felt like a scramble, and my kids casually asked, “What’s for dessert?” as I was cleaning up dinner.
Cue the fridge panic. I spotted a can of peaches, a roll of crescent dough, and butter (always butter), and I remembered this recipe my aunt used to make when we visited her during summers. She’d whip these up like it was no big deal, and somehow they’d steal the show every time. So, I gave it a shot, adding my own spin with cinnamon sugar and Sprite (don’t knock it until you try it).
When the dumplings came out of the oven, golden and bubbling, I knew I had a winner. The smell alone was enough to bring everyone back to the kitchen. And when I topped them with vanilla ice cream? Game over. Now, they’re a regular in my dessert rotation because, honestly, they’re the perfect mix of nostalgia and pure deliciousness.

How To Make Amazing Peach Dumplings?
Let’s walk through this recipe together. It’s as easy as it gets, but I’ll share all the little tips to make sure yours turns out perfect.
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with butter or non-stick spray. Trust me, the cleanup will be so much easier this way.
Step 2: Roll the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations. Don’t stress if they look a little wonky—this recipe is all about rustic charm.
Step 3: Wrap the Peaches
Take one or two peach slices and place them on the wide end of a dough triangle. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top, because why not? Roll the dough up around the peaches, tucking in the edges so the filling stays cozy. Repeat until you’ve used all the dough.
Step 4: Make the Sauce
In a bowl, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and remaining cinnamon. The smell alone will make you want to eat it with a spoon, but hold off—it gets even better once it’s baked. Spoon this mixture over the dumplings, making sure they’re well-coated.

Step 5: Add the Soda
Here’s the unexpected but magical part: pour the Sprite around the dumplings—not over them. This keeps the dough from getting soggy and helps create that golden, gooey sauce.
Step 6: Bake
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbling. By now, your kitchen will smell so good, you might have a crowd forming.
Step 7: Serve and Savor
Let the dumplings cool for a few minutes, then serve them warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust me, this is what dessert dreams are made of.
Storage Options:
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (unlikely, but let’s pretend):
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or oven to bring back the magic.
- Freezer: Wrap individual dumplings tightly and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Variations and Substitutions:
Want to put your own spin on these Peach Dumplings? Here are some ideas:
- Switch the Fruit: Try apples, pears, or even cherries for a fun twist.
- Add Spices: A dash of nutmeg or ginger pairs beautifully with the cinnamon.
- Use a Different Soda: Ginger ale or sparkling apple cider work just as well as Sprite.
- Go Fancy: Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or almonds on top before baking for some crunch.
What to Serve with Amazing Peach Dumplings?
These dumplings are pretty perfect on their own, but a little something extra never hurts:
- Vanilla Ice Cream: The classic pairing that takes these dumplings to the next level.
- Whipped Cream: Light, fluffy, and the perfect contrast to the rich, buttery sauce.
- Coffee or Tea: A warm drink balances the sweetness and makes dessert feel extra cozy.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Definitely! Just peel, slice, and toss them with a little sugar before wrapping them in the dough.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble everything, cover it, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh when you’re ready to serve.
How do I reheat leftovers?
Pop them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the flakiness. The microwave works too, but the dough might get a little softer.
