FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
You can use peeled peaches or unpeeled peaches, that is a personal preference. They soften as they bake. To peel peaches properly, add the peaches to boiling water for about 10-20 seconds to loosen the skin then place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, use a pairing knife and gently peel away the skin, which should come off easily.
It adds sweetness to the overall dish but also thickens as it cooks down to help make a delicious sauce. You can use any lemon-lime soda you like (Sprite, 7-Up or even Mountain Dew).
We like to serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
Yes you can. Look for the can that shows larger peach slices. This recipe can also be doubled and baked in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Leftovers should be stored in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- fresh peaches – See my FAQ (frequently asked questions) above on peeling if that is your preference but it’s not absolutely necessary as the skin will soften as it bakes.
- crescent rolls – you can use the store brand – it doesn’t have to be Pillsbury. It’s best to use the rolls instead of the crescent sheet but that will work too. You’ll just have to do some cutting.
- salted butter – this doesn’t make it salty – it just helps to cut the overall sweetness a little bit.
- sugar – I have not tried this with a substitute but I would think it would work.
- ground cinnamon – if you aren’t a fan of cinnamon, just leave it out. It really goes so well with the peaches though.
- flour – this is going to help thicken the sauce mixture.
- lemon lime soda – it can be any of your favorite lemon lime sodas (Mountain Dew also works great with this!)

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. To peel peaches properly, add the peaches to boiling water for about 10-20 seconds to loosen the skin then place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, use a pairing knife and gently peel away the skin, which should come off easily.
- 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.
