Q: Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?

A: Yes, puff pastry works beautifully here. Cut it into rectangles about the same size as a crescent triangle, place the peach on one end, and fold or roll the pastry over. The result will be flakier and a little more pastry-forward but equally delicious.

Q: What if I do not have citrus soda?

A: The citrus soda helps create the syrupy sauce and adds a lightness to the texture. If you do not have it, you can use ginger ale, apple juice, or even a mix of water with a squeeze of lemon. The result will be slightly different but still very good.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

A: You can assemble the dumplings in the dish, cover with foil, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before baking. Do not pour the butter mixture or soda over them until you are ready to put them in the oven. Bake straight from the fridge adding 5 extra minutes.

Q: My dumplings came out soggy on the bottom. What happened?

A: This is usually caused by too much liquid in the dish. Make sure you measure the soda accurately and that the peaches are firm and not releasing too much juice. Slightly underfilling the dish with soda will give you a thicker, more caramelized sauce rather than a watery one.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cut each peach into 8 wedges for 16 wedges total.
Open the crescent roll cans and separate the dough into 16 individual triangles.
Place one peach wedge at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Roll the dough around the peach, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed tip.
Place the wrapped dumplings in rows in the prepared baking dish.
In a bowl or measuring cup, mix the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the dumplings.
Pour the citrus soda around the edges of the dish, not directly over the dumplings.
Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, until the dumplings are deep golden brown and the syrup is bubbling.
Let the dumplings rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with syrup spooned over the top and vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Use firm-ripe peaches so they hold their shape during baking. Pour the soda around the edges of the dish to keep the tops golden and crisp while the syrup forms underneath.
