Easy Peach Dumplings are a delicious dessert that’s simple to make and perfect for summer when fresh peaches are in season. Here’s a step-by-step recipe to prepare them:
Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe peaches (or 4 small peaches)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup of water
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the crescent roll dough package.
- Wash the peaches thoroughly and cut them into halves, removing the pits. If using small peaches, you can leave them whole.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the instructions on the package.
- Place one peach half (or one whole small peach) on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll the dough around the peach, starting from the wide end and tucking the sides as needed to completely enclose the peach.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the granulated sugar, water, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir everything together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Grease a baking dish large enough to fit all the peach dumplings in a single layer.
- Carefully place each wrapped peach into the greased baking dish.
- Pour the buttery sauce mixture over the dumplings, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake according to the crescent roll dough package instructions or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the peach dumplings cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, serve the warm peach dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra delicious treat!
Enjoy your Easy Peach Dumplings as a delightful and comforting dessert!
