Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Drain them well and pat dry with paper towels before wrapping. Canned peaches are already soft, so they'll create a slightly different texture, but the flavor will still be delicious. This makes the recipe accessible year-round when fresh peaches aren't in season.

What can I substitute for lemon-lime soda?

If you don't have lemon-lime soda, you can use ginger ale or even orange soda for a different flavor profile. In a pinch, you can mix 3/4 cup water with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, though the carbonation effect will be missing.

Can I prepare these in advance for a dinner party?

Yes! You can assemble the dumplings and prepare the butter mixture up to 8 hours ahead. Keep the wrapped peaches in the refrigerator and the butter mixture at room temperature. Just before baking, pour the butter mixture over the dumplings, add the soda, and bake as directed. This makes them perfect for entertaining!

Why did my sauce turn out grainy?

This usually happens when the butter separates during baking. Make sure your butter is fully melted but not hot when mixing with the sugar, and don't overmix the sauce ingredients. Also, check that your oven temperature is accurate, as too high heat can cause separation.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Peel and slice the peach into eight wedges, discarding the pit.
Wrap the peaches in crescent rolls: Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll them. Place one peach slice on the wide end of one crescent triangle and roll it up in the crescent. Place the wrapped peach crescent in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining peaches and crescents.
Make the topping mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until just combined, and then spoon this mixture over each wrapped crescent roll.
Add the soda: Pour the lemon-lime soda into the empty spaces between the dumplings, being careful not to pour it directly on top of the dumplings.
Bake and serve: Bake the dumplings in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crescents turn golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.

Notes

Ensure the lemon-lime soda is not poured over the dumplings directly to maintain their texture.
Fresh peaches work best for this recipe, but canned or frozen peaches can be used as an alternative if necessary.
This dish pairs perfectly with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
