Easy Peach Dumplings

Using peaches, crescent roll dough, lemon-lime soda, and a brown sugar-butter sauce, I love how these easy Peach Dumplings bake up gooey on the bottom and crisp on top. I use fresh peaches when they’re in season or canned when they aren’t. They are so incredibly easy to make and taste like peach cobbler!

Easy Peach Dumpling Recipe
Shortly after making my easy apple dumplings last year, someone suggested using peaches, too. I wasted no time, altering a few other ingredients, and have made them about 400 times since then. They’re so quick and easy to prep with pantry items —the oven does most of the work.
I’ve been known to serve them for breakfast sometimes, but clearly these are a dessert. A scoop of ice cream, while not at all necessary, puts it over the top!
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Fresh vs. canned peaches. I use fresh peaches when they’re in season, but canned peaches also work great. They break down a little more, but it’s negligible and just as good!
- To peel or not to peel? I personally do not peel the fresh peaches. Their skin is thin enough that it becomes tender after baking, but you can peel them if you want. If subbing apples, you should peel those.
- Soda to use. Use a clear lemon-lime soda like 7-UP, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Fresca, or even ginger ale. Either regular or sugar-free work.
- Don’t skip the soda. The soda adds necessary carbonation—do not eliminate it, or these will not turn out right. By pouring it around the edges of the pan, it creates moisture to cook the dumplings and an amazing crust on the crescent rolls while baking. It also boils down and contributes to the gooey sauce that will make your heart skip a beat.
- Double the recipe. If you want to double the recipe, bake it in a 9×13 pan.

Get the oven going and prepare a baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray so the dumplings don’t stick.
Prepare the butter mixture: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup butter. Once the butter is melted, add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon; stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Prepare the dough: Separate the crescent dough into 8 individual triangles to form the dumplings.
Make the dumplings: Place a peach wedge near the wider end of each of the dough triangles, and then roll it up. Pinch the ends of the dough to seal so the peach juice doesn’t ooze out during baking. Transfer the dumplings to the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the melted butter mixture over the dough, ensuring you get good coverage.
Pour the Fresca to the sides of the dumplings, not on the top, so a nice crust forms while the dumplings are baking.
Bake until the dumplings are golden brown and the peaches are tender when pierced with a fork, about 35 minutes. Remove the dumplings from the oven and let them stand 10 minutes to cool slightly, as the insides will be very hot.
Serve: Serve for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or go ahead and indulge and serve as a decadent breakfast!
How to Store
These are best eaten right away, otherwise the dough gets very soggy, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently rewarm in the microwave, although the dough will not be crispy.
What to Serve With Peach Dumplings
These peach dumplings are best served fresh and warm, but you do want to let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes out of the oven before serving. Otherwise, they’re super hot! They’re incredible with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You could also serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat.

I made these today and they were so easy and so delicious. I didn’t have any ice cream but they were delicious all on their own. Thanks for the recipe.
I made these last night. Soooooo good and easy. Everyone loved them. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
These are absolutely to die for delicious! I have made the apple dumplings before and these are even better if you love peaches like I do. Thank you, Amy, for yet another scrumptious recipe! <3
Delicious love this recipe
Delicious recipe & quick to make
This recipe was so easy and knock-your-socks-off GOOD! Didn’t change anything. I’m going to try it with pears and apples too. Thanks for sharing!!
Question. I would like to make these for my mom. She lives alone. Can I make them in a loaf pan and freeze. Two for each pan. Should I bake and freeze or freeze and bake? She couldn’t eat them all before they spoiled.
Hi Sherry! I’ve never tested this recipe that way, so I can’t vouch for results. I would probably bake first and then freeze. Maybe? Either way, the dumplings might end up soft and gooey after thawed. This is really one of those recipes that’s best served right away so the dough gets nice and crisp.
Omg this recipe is incredible!! I used ginger ale and added just a pinch of nutmeg. So easy. I’m going to try it with peaches next time. We all LOVED it – thanks for sharing!
This recipe is insanely yummy!!
Been making these for years but never with brown sugar. So tonight doing a batch with pineapple tidbits and one with peach and of course brown sugar.
This sounds great and I can hardly wait to taste it. I plan to sub in Canada Dry ginger ale for the Fresca since I have that on hand and it’s not as sweet.
OMG. These were…incredible. And so easy!! New favorite dessert. Thank you for sharing!!
Got these in the oven now. The only soda i had was squirt. Hope it cures my late night sweet tooth.
I had some fresh peaches from the farmer’s market, and this recipe sounded easy so I had to try it. W couldn’t believe how nice it turned out, in appearance as well as flavor and texture! My husband loved it also.
Is there any alternative for the carbonated soda? My son and I are both allergic to carbonated beverages.
Hi, Brenda. Based on my experience, Sunny Delight (a sweetened citrus drink) can be used in place of lemon-lime soda.
So delicious and easy… we like Mtn Dew over sprite however both are raved about
I discovered you on TikTok yesterday and made these last night. Deeeeeelicious! I’m going to try it will tart apples and a touch of real lemon juice mixed into the soda. Thank you!
This recipe does not disappoint. We all loved it and I plan on making it many more times. My new favourite dessert.
I wanted to try this recipe as soon as I saw it. Tonight I made it with peaches I’d frozen from last year. It was as delicious as it looks and very easy to make! I will make and serve again.
I have made this recipe many times and have lots of requests from others for it. I use an orange soda and it pairs nicely with the peach.
I made these very simple “dumplings” last night. OMG, they were to die for. Could be the best dessert I have ever made. Seriously. The fresh peach inside was thoroughly cooked and the weird ingredient of Fresca actually worked out. I only used 1/2 cup of Fresca because adding it just seemed so weird. Highly recommend this recipe.
DELICIOUS!!
I have made my own little twist with these adding a Nutella drizzle with some powdered sugar on them once they are out of the oven! It actually gives them a really nice chocolatey flavour without taking away from the peach on the inside. I do add the cinnamon drizzle on them before baking them, and it just adds to the flavour even more. Instead of a citrus soda I use peach flavoured carbonated water so it doesn’t take away from the overall flavour of the dish, while also adding to that lovely peach flavour you get from the dessert overall. Super tasty treat!!
I’ve made this twice in ten days. My husband said it’s his favorite dessert
This is the best recipe – so easy and almost no costs. It was delicious!!!
Oh my word! My husband said these are even better than the apple dumplings. Super easy and super good!
so easy and tastes great
Do I need to peel the peaches?
loved it!!!!!
My family and I loved this so much! A million attempts on others and this one was one of the easiest and by far best tasting! Thank you for sharing!
These are delicious! We use frozen peach slices when peaches are out of season. Fresh Granny Smith apples, too!
I made these today. So easy and they’re delicious!
Love Love Love big peach cobbler flavor without all the work
I love this recipe
Seriously delicious and easy!!! Thank you! Made with sprite! It’s taking all my will power to not eat the whole pan!
Making a second doubled batch the next night! Unheard of in my house!
My new favorite peach dessert and so easy!
Love love love
I made these peach dumplings today. So delicious and easy !
This recipe was great. My three children and their families loved it. I made a double recipe and they are asking me to make more. Thank you.
I see absolutely NO good reason why these gems CAN’T be served for breakfast! Fruit and pastry…really! Like a grownup pop tart. OMG!
Scrumptious! I’ve made peach dumplings in the past but didn’t use brown sugar. The brown sugar took to another level. I did add one tsp of vanilla extract. AND I had a little leftover sweet potato pie batter. I put some in two of the crescent rolls. Awwwsome!
I used ginger ale as it was all i had and it still tastes fantastic!! This recipe is a game changer in my home and a HIT at potlucks!! Thanks!!
I don’t have any citrus soda. How are they without?
Thank you
Hi Patsy! You need the carbonation from the soda for these to turn out. If you have the time, I do explain it in the article. Thanks!
I accidentally purchased bisquits, made the dumplings using biscuits… They were delicious. anyway! I made a second double batch to give to a good neighbor, using the bisquits again!!! They were a huge hit again! Thank You for the delicious,simple recipe!
Curious if you think it would work to cook these dumplings on a grill? Thanks!
I have made these with apples and peaches for years, they are wonderful.
When a recipe ingredients is in cups, what six cup is used?
I can’t wait to try these. Been making the apple dumplings for years. Just never thought about trying peaches! (I’m not creative in any way.)
What about frozen peaches?
Just put a batch in oven. See how they turn out. Made sure I have vanilla ice cream and also whipped cream. Eaters choice.
These are definitely on my “make soon” list! Thanks!
Can you use pie dough instead of crescent rolls?
You probably could, but the temperature and time would probably need to be adjusted and I can’t give proper instructions, since I’ve never tried it that way.
This recipe is terrific!!
Thanks, Bette!
Can I use lemonade
Not with optimal results. You need some type of carbonation to achieve the crispy exterior.
