Peach Dumplings
Ingredients:
- 2 whole large peaches (fresh or canned)
- 2 (8 oz) cans crescent rolls
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
Directions:
- Prepare the peaches:
If using fresh peaches, peel and pit them. Cut each peach into 8 slices. If using canned peaches, drain them well. Roll each peach slice in a crescent roll triangle and place the wrapped peaches in a buttered 9×13-inch baking pan. - Make the butter sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir just enough to combine, but do not fully dissolve the sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Assemble the dumplings:
Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the peach-wrapped crescent rolls in the baking pan, making sure to cover them evenly. Pour the orange juice around the edges of the pan, avoiding the tops of the dumplings. - Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake:
Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top of the dumplings. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. - Serve:
Serve the dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Be sure to spoon some of the sweet, buttery sauce from the pan over the top for extra flavor.
These Peach Dumplings are an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that perfectly combines fruity sweetness with a buttery, flaky crust. Enjoy this comforting treat with your favorite ice cream for a truly indulgent experience!
