Easy Peasy Peach Dumplings!

These "Easy Peasy Peach Dumplings" are made easy by using canned crescent rolls.  This is a recipe that made it's way all around Pinterest and then Facebook and while these recipes look interesting and usually very good, I like to test them out before I post them for you all to try.   It has been my experience that some are good and some are not so good.  Then there are some that just need some adaptation.  This one was very good and it did need a few changes, but overall it works well.  Here is what you will need:

4 medium size peaches, peeled, pitted and cut in 4 slices each or an equal amount of canned peach slices, drained

2 (8 oz.) cans crescent rolls (I used Pillsbury butter flake ones)

2 stick butter (1 cup), melted

1  1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 can lemon lime flavored soda (I used Sprite)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Separate the crescent rolls into triangles.  Roll one peach slice in each crescent roll and place in a 9"x`3" baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray.  This recipe called for using two peaches and if you had huge peaches, maybe that will work, but with just regular size peaches, you need at least 4.  I like some peach actually in this and just two would not be enough.  Melt the butter and mix in the sugar and vanilla.  Pour evenly over the crescent bundles.

Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon.  Pour the soda around the edges of the crescent rolls, not over the tops so the cinnamon remains on top.  Place in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes!

The top should just be browning when they are done!

These are best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream!  Delicious!  You can also do this with apples!



Easy Peasy Peach Cobbler!

We are getting into peach season here in southern Kentucky and there is nothing better in the fruit category, to me, than a juicy ripe peach right off of the tree.  I am actually not much of a fruit lover, mainly because so many fruits don't love me back or the acid in them doesn't, but peaches are just one of my favorites if they are in season.  Also, there are so many delicious things you make with peaches.  Peach cobbler is a huge favorite in our house and I actually have several different ways I make it depending on how much time I have when I make it.   This is one of the easiest ways to make any type of cobbler.  Here is what you need:

***4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and diced

1  1/2 cups sugar, divided

1/2 cup of butter (1 stick)

1 cup of self rising flour

1 cup milk

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, divided

1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

***You can substitute 2 (15 oz.) cans of sliced peaches, undrained for the fresh peaches

Place the peeled and diced peaches in bowl with 1/2 cup of sugar.  Peaches are sweet naturally and don't require much sweetening. 

In a 9"x13" baking pan, melt the butter.

Mix together the milk, self rising flour,  1 cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. cinnamon until smooth.  Pour over the melted butter in the baking pan.  DO NOT STIR.

Lay the peaches over the batter and DO NOT STIR.   Sprinkle the top with the other 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon.  Place in the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the top is brown.

This is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
