Hello, peach season! If you know me, you know I'm kicking off the summer months with fresh, juicy peaches. This year, it's all about simple recipes that look impressive and can feed a crowd.
Why you'll love this recipe
- Easy recipe: Think of these as shortcut peach cobbler dumplings! All of the tasty, fruity flavor of a cobbler but quicker and easier to make.

Ingredient notes
- Fresh peaches: Use large, ripe, and firm peaches. You don’t need to peel the peach, though you can if you prefer.
- Crescent rolls: Peach slices are wrapped in crescent rolls with a cinnamon sugar topping. The result is a flaky and buttery dumpling.
- Butter: Use melted salted or unsalted butter, the choice is yours! We use vegan butter since we’re dairy free.
- Water: This peach crescent roll recipe uses water instead of a can of Sprite, Mountain Dew, or 7UP. A lemon-lime soda is sometimes used to make a syrupy caramel sauce when mixed with butter and brown sugar.
- Brown sugar: For the perfect amount of sweetness paired with the natural sugar from peaches.
- Vanilla extract: Just a splash adds a delightful comforting taste.
- Ground cinnamon: Adds a nice warm flavor to this dessert.
I suggest serving crescent roll dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We use vegan ice cream since we’re dairy free!
