Easy Peach Dumplings

Ingredients:

• 2 fresh or canned peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Sprite or lemon-lime soda (or any citrus soda)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Peaches:
   • If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into wedges. If using canned peaches, drain them well.
   • For each peach, wrap one crescent roll dough triangle around a slice, making sure to pinch the edges to seal the dough around the peach.
3. Arrange the Dumplings:
   • Place the wrapped peach dumplings into a lightly greased 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
4. Make the Syrup:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Stir in the sugar and cinnamon, and cook for a couple of minutes until combined and slightly bubbly.
   • Remove from heat and pour the butter mixture over the dumplings in the baking dish.
5. Add the Soda:
   • Pour the Sprite (or your choice of lemon-lime soda) around the edges of the dumplings in the dish. The soda will create a bubbly, sweet syrup while baking.
6. Bake:
   • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the syrup is bubbling.
7. Serve:
   • Let the dumplings cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
