Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled, just use a 9″x 13″ baking pan.
- You can use peeled peaches or unpeeled peaches, that is a personal preference. It softened as it bakes.

- In addition, you could used canned sliced peaches for this as well.
- You can use any type of lemon-lime soda the you like, I used Sprite for this recipe.
- When pouring the soda over the peach dumplings, try to stick to the edges and middle and not pour directly over the dumplings themselves.
- This is “self saucing”. It will come out with a delicious thickened sauce at the end that you serve with the dumplings themselves.
