Peach Dumplings are a delightful treat that brings a touch of Southern charm to your table. This dish is perfect for those cozy family gatherings or when you want to impress your friends with something sweet and comforting. The combination of juicy peaches wrapped in a flaky pastry, all baked to golden perfection, is sure to win hearts. This recipe is a family favorite, especially during the summer months when peaches are at their peak.

Peach Dumplings pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete meal, serve them after a light summer salad or a grilled chicken dish. The warm, sweet flavors of the dumplings complement savory dishes beautifully, making them a versatile dessert option.

Servings: 8

2 large peaches, peeled and pitted
1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cut each peach into 8 slices.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.

Place a peach slice at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up.

Arrange the dumplings in a white casserole dish.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the sugar mixture over the dumplings.

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

Let cool slightly before serving.

For a twist, try using apples or pears instead of peaches. You can also add a handful of chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, for some extra crunch. If you have picky eaters, consider serving the dumplings with a side of caramel sauce for dipping. For a healthier version, reduce the sugar and use whole wheat crescent roll dough.
