EASY FRESH APPLE DUMPLINGS
CAN I USE PEACHES INSTEAD OF APPLES?
Absolutely! Peaches work perfect in this dessert. Check out my recipe for FRESH PEACH DUMPLINGS! This recipe is just so easy and you only need one apple for 4 servings or two apples for 8 servings. And the crescent rolls take on a whole nutha flavor when combined with the cinnamon and butter. My husband just loves this because he loves apple desserts and I love it because it is easy peasy! Just double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan for 8 servings.

I love apple dumplings. I just so happened to be reading this this morning and my Mom called to ask me what she should have for dessert this weekend when they had some friends over. I said...I have something RIGHT here!! So, she is making them!! Can't wait to try myself.
I got so excited that you made this and reminded me of it that I pinned it, stumbled it and then left without leaving a note so I had to come back. 🙂
Thank you SO much for sharing this! Someone brought it to our house for dessert once and I fell in love with it, but haven't thought of it since then. Now I can make it!
