Peach Dumplings
What you need:
- 2 fresh peaches --or-- 16 frozen peach slices
- 2 cans (8 oz.) crescent rolls
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 can (12 oz.) Mountain Dew
- Ground cinnamon, to taste
- Ice cream for serving
Directions:
- Prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray - I used my 9x13".
- Peel peaches, remove the pit, and slice into 8 slices each --or-- get your 16 slices of frozen peaches out. See why I want to go the frozen route next time?!
- Take one crescent triangle and place a slice of peach on the wide end and roll up. Place in casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining triangles and peaches.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add sugar and vanilla and stir to combine - the sugar does not need to dissolve completely.
- Pour the buttery sugar mixture over the rolls in the casserole dish.
- Crack open your can of Mountain Dew and poor it over the top of the rolls.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon to your liking.
- Bake at 350* for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with a scoop of ice cream or two - the syrup at the bottom of the pan is great for drizzling over the top.
