What you need to make Easy Crescent Roll Peach Dumplings (full recipe below)
- Peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade crescent dough)
- Butter
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Sprite or a similar citrus soda (7-Up, Mountain Dew, Fresca)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
How to Make Easy Crescent Roll Peach Dumplings
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Open the crescent roll packages and separate the dough into individual triangles on a clean work surface.
On each crescent triangle, place one or two peach slices near the wide end (amount depends on slice size). Sprinkle lightly with a pinch of cinnamon, then roll from the wide end toward the point, tucking the point underneath to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and peaches.
Arrange the rolled dumplings in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon until smooth.
Spoon the cinnamon-sugar-butter mixture evenly over the dumplings.
Pour the soda around the dumplings—avoid pouring it directly over the tops. Doing this helps the dumplings develop a crisp, caramelized crust while the sauce forms underneath.
Bake on the middle oven rack for 30–35 minutes, until the dumplings are golden brown and the crescent dough is cooked through. If using fresh peaches, test their tenderness with a toothpick or fork and bake until they reach your preferred softness.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Frequently Asked Questions for Crescent Roll Peach Dumplings
Yes. In summer use about 4 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into even wedges. Thawed frozen peaches also work well.
The citrus soda helps the dumplings bake to a tender, gooey texture and creates a sweet, glossy sauce. Sprite, 7-Up, Mountain Dew, or similar sodas all work. A calorie-free soda like Fresca can be used if preferred.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. They’re also tasty cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for 1–2 days. They’re best enjoyed warm straight from the oven.
