Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (15 ounces/425 grams each) sliced peaches in 100% juice, drained
- 2 containers (8 ounces/226 grams/8 count each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (226 grams) butter
- 1 ½ cups (355 milliliters) Sprite soda
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ⅔ cup (130 grams) brown sugar, packed
- ⅔ cup (130 grams) granulated sugar
Spices and Toppings:
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Topping: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Thoroughly coat a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 centimeters) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Carefully unfurl the crescent roll dough and separate each triangle on a clean work surface. Position 1-2 fresh peach slices at the wide end of each triangle, then dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
- Gently roll each triangle from the wide end, encasing the peach slices within the soft dough, creating compact crescent-shaped parcels.
- Arrange the delicate dumplings uniformly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring even spacing.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt unsalted butter completely. Incorporate white and brown sugars along with additional ground cinnamon, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth, aromatic glaze.
- Generously drizzle the sugar-butter mixture over the assembled dumplings, ensuring each pastry receives an even coating.
- Carefully pour the lemon-lime carbonated beverage around the dumplings, creating a light syrupy base.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation of the pastry.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dumplings to rest and cool for 10 minutes, permitting the flavors to meld and settle.
- Serve warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience.
