Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Canned peaches | 2 (15 oz) cans | Drained |
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 2 (8 oz) cans | |
| Butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) | Melted |
| Granulated sugar | 2/3 cup | |
| Brown sugar | 2/3 cup | Packed |
| Cinnamon | 3 teaspoons | Divided |
| Sprite or citrus soda | 1 ½ cups | |
| Vanilla ice cream | For serving | Optional but recommended |
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Wrap the Peaches: Place one or two drained peach slices at the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Roll from the wide end to form a dumpling.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place dumplings seam-side down in the baking dish in a single layer.
- Make the Cinnamon Butter Sauce: In a bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon until smooth.
- Add Sauce and Soda: Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the dumplings. Then pour the citrus soda around the edges of the dumplings (not directly over them).
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Serve Warm: Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for best results.
