These delicious little Peach Dumplings are warm, comforting and delicious! Similar to my Peach Pie or Peach Galette, Peach Dumplings are made with sweet peaches sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, rolled up into a crescent roll, topped with melted butter and more cinnamon sugar. It’s the perfect dessert! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

Why You’ll Love This Easy Peach Dumplings Recipe!

If you’ve made my crescent roll apple dumplings, you might remember it calls for soda (typically, Mountain Dew, Sprite or 7UP) poured into the bottom to create a delicious, caramel sauce. I decided to do something slightly different with these peach dumplings. Instead, I drizzled melted butter over the top of the dumplings and sprinkled with more cinnamon sugar.

While the dumplings bake, this gave the peach juice and butter time to combine and create a yummy sauce in the bottom of the pan, plus gave it that crispy golden texture on top. It’s like a peach pie stuffed into crescent rolls…warm, comforting and delicious. Especially delicious with ice cream. If you feel so inclined, you can make some homemade vanilla ice cream to serve with these.

Ingredients Needed For Easy Peach Dumplings

These 5 ingredient peach dumplings make a easy and delicious summer dessert recipe! Here is everything you’ll need:

Granulated Sugar: Adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
Cinnamon: For a warm, comforting flavor.
Ripe Peaches: Fresh and juicy, the star of this dish.
Crescent Rolls: The doughy base that wraps around the peaches.
Salted Butter: Melted and drizzled for richness.
Vanilla Ice Cream: Optional, but highly recommended for serving.

Variations

Canned Peaches: Use these if fresh peaches aren’t available.
Biscuit Dough: Swap crescent rolls for a different texture.
Apple Version: Replace peaches with apples for a twist.
Caramel Sauce: Drizzle over the top for extra decadence.

How to Make Peach Dumplings

These crescent roll Peach dumplings are a fantastic way to enjoy the fresh flavors of the season, and this recipe makes it incredibly easy. With minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, you can whip up this delightful dessert in no time. For full recipe details and ingredient measurements, see the printable recipe card down below. Here is step-by-step instructions for making this easy recipe:

1. Preheat + Prep Baking Dish

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

2. Combine Sugar + Cinnamon

In a small bowl, stir sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.

3. Peel, Pit + Cut Peaches

Peel peaches and segment into 8 pieces per peach, for 16 pieces altogether. I like to remove the red centers because sometimes they have crunchy pieces from the pits.

Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh peaches?

Yes! While I prefer fresh peaches during peach season, I have used canned peaches a number of times because fresh peaches are hard to find in the winter months. They break down a little more than fresh, but they taste just as good. You can also use frozen peaches. You’ll save some time not needing to peel the skins off.

4. Separate Crescent Roll Pieces + Roll up Peaches

Pop open the cans of crescent rolls and separate crescent dough into each triangle piece. Starting at the wide end of the triangle, roll one peach slice in the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll up carefully into one triangular piece of crescent roll dough.

5. Place Rolled Crescents in Pan

Place rolled crescents in prepared baking dish. Repeat with all the slices of peaches until all of them are rolled. Melt butter and drizzle over peach dumplings and then sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar.

6. Bake + Serve Warm

Place into a preheated oven and Bake 25-30 mins or until all puffed, golden brown and dough is cooked through. Cover with aluminum foil while dumplings finish baking, if the top becomes too brown, too quickly. Serve warm dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Storage + Make Ahead Directions For Peach Dumplings

Store leftovers in an airtight container (after they have cooled to room temperature) in the fridge up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.

Make Ahead

You can make Peach Dumplings ahead of time. After baking, allow to cool, and then cover and refrigerate. When ready to use, place in the oven until hot throughout.
