Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large peach
- 1 8-count tube of refrigerated crescent rolls
Sweeteners and Spices:
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup lemon-lime soda
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a cozy 350°F, ensuring a perfectly balanced baking environment. Coat an 8×8-inch glass baking dish with a light mist of nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Transform the fresh peach into eight elegant wedges, carefully removing the central pit to prepare for wrapping.
- Gently unroll the crescent roll dough, creating delicate pastry blankets. Lovingly nestle a peach wedge at the wide end of each triangle and carefully roll into compact, tender parcels.
- Craft a luxurious coating by whisking together melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and flour until the mixture reaches a smooth, harmonious consistency. Generously drizzle this aromatic blend over each dumpling, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically pour the fizzy lemon-lime soda around the dumplings, creating a moisture-rich environment that will help steam and soften the pastry.
- Allow the dumplings to bake for 35-40 minutes, watching as they transform into golden-brown treasures with bubbling, caramelized edges.
- Present the warm dumplings alongside a cloud of fresh whipped cream or a decadent scoop of vanilla ice cream, elevating this rustic dessert to a sublime culinary experience.
