How to Make Quick and Easy Peach Crescent Dumplings
Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter.
Step 2: Assemble the Dumplings
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Place 2-3 peach slices at the wide end of each triangle, then roll up tightly, encasing the peaches. Arrange all dumplings seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Make the Buttery Sauce
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in vanilla extract and reserved peach syrup. Pour this mixture evenly over the crescent dumplings.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and bubbling. The sauce will thicken and caramelize as it cools.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the dumplings rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with extra sauce, and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
