And I’ll admit, these babies are pretty dang good. In fact, I might just like them even better than the apple version. There’s just something weird about the way all these ingredients work so well together, but it’s amazing. It’s a quick and easy way to get a delicious dessert on the table in less than 1 hour. They are dynamite when served warm alongside some vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Y’all enjoy!
Peach Dumplings
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time35 mins
Total Time45 mins
Servings: 8 dumplings
Ingredients
- 1 large peach
- 1 (8-ounce) 8-count tube of refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup lemon-lime soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Peel and slice the peach into eight wedges, discarding the pit.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll them. Place one peach slice on the wide end of one crescent and roll it up in the crescent. Place them in the baking dish. Continue with other rolls.
- In a small bowl combine the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and flour and mix until just combined. Spoon the mixture over each crescent.
- Pour the lemon-lime soda into the empty spaces between the dumplings being cautious not to pour it on top of the dumplings. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until crescents are golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Rita says
Just wanted to know if you use all-purpose flour or self-rising flour in the peach dumplings? Or does it matter? Thank you.
Stacey says
In this small amount, either will do. But I used all-purpose.
Sheelagh says
Question: Is there anything I can use besides lemon-lime soda?
Stacey says
You can use any time of clear soda, like ginger ale. Are you talking about something other than soda in general?
Sheelagh says
Thanks, Stacey! To answer your question: I may choose to make these on the fly, and I don’t usually keep any kind of soda in the house. I’ll just get a few cans to keep in stock here. Also – I’ve only been a subscriber for several weeks, and I love receiving your e-mail newsletters. I’m a Yankee transplant to the South and I’m deeply in love with Southern ways and food. Again, many, many thanks for being you.
Stacey says
We’re so glad to have you – here on the blog and down South! So glad you’re loving it and I’m just tickled you are enjoying the blog and newsletter. In a pinch, I’m sure a few tablespoons of sugar dissolved in the same amount of water would do fine. 🙂 Please let me know if I can ever help with anything or answer any questions.
Lyn says
I’ve made this using apple and Mountain Dew but can’t wait to try this with peaches. It’s a great dessert.
Sharyl D. Connor says
Can you use can peaches. Thank you very much.
Stacey says
Absolutely!
Willie says
I just made these and they are absolutely delicious and very easy to make. I will definitely make these again. I think I’ll double the batch. Also, these peach dumplings go very well with butter pecan ice cream.
Stacey says
Sounds great! Glad they turned out well!
Monet says
Tried this recipe last weekend, and it was delish and super easy. I prepared exactly as written and I can’t wait to prepare it again using different types of fruit!
Stacey says
That’s great, Monet! I’m just tickled y’all enjoyed it!
Monica says
I can’t wait to try this recipe on my parents this weekend! Question though….What does the soda do for the dumplings? Can this be an optional ingredient?
Stacey says
The soda adds flavor and ooey-gooey-ness. I certainly wouldn’t leave it out.
Courtney says
Making these for my Valentine tonight
Stacey says
Hope y’all enjoy!!
Jessica says
Once I saw your post I went to the store to buy the needed ingredients. I got very excited because mine came out looking like yours…. I was a little disappointed though because it was too sweet. I think next time I make this, I’ll add a little lemon juice just to break that sweetness up.
BTW I love your blog, I feel as if I am gaining weight as I look through your photos!!
Stacey says
I’ve not heard that before about it being too sweet. I guess all our tastes are different. I’m glad you’re finding lots of things you enjoy, though!
Vanessa Butcher Johnson says
I am going to try this recipe, if I use can peaches do I drain the juice?
Stacey says
Yes, drain the juice well. Enjoy!
Sharon Thornton says
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this recipe! I guess I’ll be making a stop at the grocery store on my way home from work! Can’t wait to try it!
Stacey says
I sure hope you’ll enjoy them!!
Maddie says
Delish! This may sound odd but I only had ginger ale so I mixed a little lemon curd in it. It was tasty! I love reading your blog!
Stacey says
I think it sounds delish! Glad you enjoyed these!
Louise says
What is lemon lime drink? Something like Sprite? Sorry, we only drin coke and water, so just am nit familiar with other sidas.
Stacey says
Sprite, 7-Up, even Mountain Dew will work.
Debbie says
You are ruining my weight loss diet! But….so be it. Delish!
Stacey says
That means I’m doing my job, right? 🙂
WILLIAM says
dangerous stuff dude. got this today, both apple and peach. headed right to the store and got ‘stuff’.
made both. i can see a major diet in my future.
Stacey says
Ha! Glad they turned out good for you!
Laura says
Has anybody tried diet lemon-lime soda? I can’t imagine doing so would make it inedible, but I’m asking first anyway. If I try and it’s inedible, I’m going to be sad… It sounds like a good reason to get extra ingredients. Ha!
Stacey says
It absolutely works with diet! Enjoy!
Margi says
I have made these and the apple ones with many different types of soda’s except for the cola’s. It’s all good.
Stacey says
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Connie says
This was fantastic! So easy and delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Stacey says
Wonderful! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed these!
Mama Jane says
Hey hun. Planning a special dinner for my son in love who just got back from Africa. If I double this in a 9×13, do you reckon I would use 2 full cans of soda? Sometimes when you double a recipe you don’t double the liquid or it’s too soupy.
What do you think?
Stacey says
Honestly, I’m not sure you’d need to double the liquid. Maybe just 1.5 times would be enough.
Teresia Walton says
I love pecans in all my peach desserts. They go so well together!
Stacey says
Absolutely! They’re the perfect addition to these!
Carol says
Do yourself a favor and make this! Use either 1 big peach or 2 small ones, don’t skimp on the fruit. I had my doubts about the 7Up but you can’t believe how well it works and how good this is. We served it with both ice cream and whip cream because what the heck 💟
Stacey says
Thanks so much, Carol! SO glad y’all enjoyed them!
Kathy Petrey says
This recipe is perfect and out of this world delicious and is easily doubled! Thanks so much for sharing! Look forward to more recipes from you!
Stacey says
Thanks so much, Kathy! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!!
Mama_Klump says
OMG!!! I made this for my family and boy I tell you this was one of the best desserts I have tried thus far. The funny thing is I really don’t to much care for cooked fruit, but this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Definitely will be making this again, again, and again. Thank you so much for sharing!! I do have 1 question? Is it necessary to use the full 3/4c of lemon-lime soda? or can you use just enough to cover the dumplings mid-way? Just wondering.
Stacey says
So glad that you enjoyed these so much! Yes, you can use less soda if you wish.
Donna Amodeo says
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Stacey says
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Janet Hart says
How do you think it work to use brown sugar in place of regular sugar?
Stacey says
Should work just fine! Enjoy!
