Country Peach Dumplings Recipe

There’s something truly nostalgic about a pan of bubbling Country Peach Dumplings fresh from the oven.

This classic Southern-style dessert wraps sweet, juicy peach slices in buttery crescent roll dough, then bathes them in a rich cinnamon-sugar glaze with a fizzy splash of citrus soda.

The result? A golden, caramelized crust with a tender, fruity center that’s impossible to resist.

Ingredients
2 large fresh peaches
1 cup butter.

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 10 ounce cans refrigerated crescent roll dough.

1 12 fluid ounce can or bottle citrus soda such as Mountain Dew.

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F 175 degrees C. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cut each peach half into 4 equal wedges; set aside.

Separate crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each peach wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end.

Pinch to seal and place in the prepared baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir sugar and cinnamon into melted butter until combined.

Pour over dumplings, followed by soda.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.”

Dumplings:

Variations

Fruit Substitutes

Apples: Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp slices for a classic apple dumpling twist.

Pears or plums: These also work beautifully and pair well with the cinnamon-sugar glaze.

Canned peaches: A great shortcut—just drain them well before using.

Soda Alternatives

Try Sprite, 7-Up, ginger ale, or any citrus-flavored soda.

For a richer caramel flavor, use a splash of cream soda or Dr. Pepper.

Flavor Enhancers

Add a splash of vanilla extract to the butter mixture.

Mix a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom with the cinnamon.

Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking for added crunch.

Dough Options

If crescent dough isn’t available, use puff pastry or biscuit dough, adjusting bake time slightly as needed.

How to Store

Refrigerator:

Let dumplings cool completely before storing.

Place them in an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with foil or plastic wrap.

Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10–15 minutes to restore crispness. Microwave works too, but may soften the crust.

Freezer:

Freeze dumplings individually on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag.

Store for up to 2 months.

To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 25–30 minutes or until heated through.
