The Best Peach Crescent Dumplings Recipe

Ripe, juicy peaches are wrapped in crescent roll dough and covered with a butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture. A little Sprite is added for extra flavor and then they are baked until golden. Serve with vanilla ice cream and you won’t believe how buttery and delicious these dumplings are. Such an easy dessert for company or a family cookout.

They are easy to assemble and then need just 30 minutes to bake. Leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator and can be rewarmed in the microwave.

Can I Use Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Peaches?

Yes! If you don’t have fresh, ripe peaches you can either use frozen, thawed peaches or canned peaches. While I prefer fresh peaches, frozen or canned will work as well, making this a recipe you can enjoy year round.

  • Frozen Peaches- Thaw them first and drain away excess liquid. Use more than 2 slices per crescent roll if the slices are small.
  • Canned Peaches- Use canned peaches packed in juice for best results. Drain them well. Use more than 2 slices if they are small.

Peach Crescent Dumplings Recipe Tips

  • Don’t skip the soda. The carbonation is important to get the right texture and it helps form a thick, syrupy sauce on the bottom. You can use either Sprite, 7-Up, or Mountain Dew.
  • Use ripe peaches. For best flavor and texture, use ripe but not overripe peaches. The texture of overripe peaches will break down too much in the oven.
  • Don’t overfill the crescent rolls with peaches.
