These Peach Dumplings are the perfect summer dessert. They are so easy to make with crescent rolls and thawed, fresh, or canned peaches. The sweet peach flavor with a hint of lemon-lime soda is so good with or without ice cream!
Easy Peach Dumplings
I have always made apple dumplings in the fall, and they are delicious. I wanted to find a summer equivalent and this was it. Make this recipe for any summer night when you want a nice, sweet treat. I prefer these to peach cobbler or peach crisp!
These dumplings have canned peaches wrapped in fluffy crescent dough. Using canned peaches is a way to make this recipe easier, but if you want to use fresh peaches (or thawed frozen) you can! Top this recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and this golden brown peach dumpling recipe will have you asking for more!
Ingredients Needed
- Butter: You will need to melt butter when mixed with the brown sugar.
- Brown Sugar: Don’t forget to pack your brown sugar when you measure it.
- Sliced Peaches: Use canned or fresh peaches!
- Lemon-Lime Soda: I used 7-up, but you can use any lemon-lime soda, like Sprite.
- Crescent Roll Dough: I prefer Pillsbury, but any brand will do.
- Cinnamon: Adds a nice sweet spice to the recipe
How to make Peach Dumplings
- Drain peaches and pat dry. Place one peach slice on each crescent roll and sprinkle with a pinch of brown sugar. Wrap up the crescent roll.
- Heat butter and brown sugar in a saucepan until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, vanilla and salt.
- Pour mixture over crescent rolls in pan along with soda. Bake until golden and bubbly.
Expert Tips
- It is super important to pat dry the peaches because any extra liquid will soak into the crescent roll dough, which can make it soggy.
- Add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top.
- Know that the mixture will be still wet when you remove from the oven but will thicken as it cools.
- Serve warm or room temperature, plain or with ice cream.
Storage
- These are best served fresh and still warm from the oven.
- Store dumplings tightly covered in the refrigerator for just a few days.
- You can freeze leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container.
FAQs
This is untested but you could use a can of biscuits, slice each biscuit into halves or thirds and wrap each around a peach slice. Baking time might be affected.

Delightful recipe. Light, buttery, sweet, so glad I tried this. Will definitely make again this summer.
Will fresh peaches work with recipe?
Yes just make sure to peel them
Great
But why the soda? And will frozen fresh peaches work, thawed of course?
It adds a little more flavor and liquid to help the sauce get nice and thick. And yes frozen thawed are great.
