The peach with the crescent rolls are tasty, however because of the liquid the bottom of the roll doesn’t cook and comes out wet, mushy and doughy. Any suggestion?
Cindy, you’re right, the rolls should not be doughy underneath. You can cover with foil and cook for a few extra moments if the bottoms seem a little too doughy. Hope that helps!
I made them last night but all I could taste was butter maybe I can cut back on the butter
Hello there! I’m curious on the peach dumpling recipe, can real peaches be used instead of canned? Will they cook enough in this recipe? ☺️
Yes, if the peaches are ripe, they should cook just fine!
Been making this recipe for years be sure you roll n tuck your dumpling peach stays in better.My brother in law passed last year,n whenever I make it it makes me feel like he’s here with me smiling n making yummy sound effects,thank you
Thank you for sharing your sweet memory Noelle. Food can create wonderful memories. Enjoy :)
You can use Mountain Dew soda when using fresh peaches. Works great as well as great flavor.
In follow up to one of the comments there are organic crescent rolls…Annie’s makes them at the store I buy from. Also I made this recipe with peaches in 100% juice…I didn’t see ‘light syrup’ only heavy syrup and juice so went the juice route and was a little worried but they turned out great! I did need to bake mine for 40 minutes and just sprinkled them with a spoon of sugar and a few dashes of cinnamon and it turned out great! Looks a little sad with just 8 going into the 8×8 casserole dish but they puff up quite a bit and it ends up covering just about the whole dish. Easy, yummy, and kid friendly. Thanks for the recipe!
Love making these, ❤️❤️❤️
It’s very delicious
Glad you loved it Charlene!
I am new to baking. Can I use fresh tree picked peaches for this recipe?
Hi Vonetta! Yes. If you use fresh peaches, you’ll need to replace the peach juice from the can with juice or with a soda like 7-Up.
Just shocked to see my name here! Great recipe! And, yes, fresh peaches sound amazing!!!
hello there was looking at your lovely desert peach dumplins .. i am in australia.. can you explane what cressent rolls are, i have never heard of them or simular would love to make them
Hello, they are a canned biscuit that is very popular here! Puff pastry would be a good substitution that I believe you have in Australia!
LLove your recipes
Hi the peach dumpling dessert sounds great however I live in Australia and have not heard of the can of dough you are mentioning
What could I use instead
I have only made this recipe as written. You could try a sweet scone dough.
always find great recipes/ Thanks so much for sharing
I made this last night and while hubby was sceptical at first, he and I both agree it is very yummy! I accidentally bought the sliced peaches in fruit juice vs the halves in syrup but it in no way impacted the tasty factor. Very delish dessert and so easy!
Love this.
These recipes look so good! I will try them! Love your website!
Thank you so much Mickie!
Can this be done in the Crockpot? Directions?
I don’t think this recipe would work well in the slow cooker.
Any thoughts on how to convert this to a crock pot recipe?
I don’t think this would work well as a slow cooker recipe.
What if I only have canned peaches in fruit juice, not syrup. Should I add sugar? Thanks.
Peaches in fruit juice should work just fine in this recipe.
What size can of peaches? Recipe doesn’t say. Thanks!
You need a total of 4 peach halves.
Looks good and so easy. Thanks!
You’re welcome! Enjoy!
Could you use Aplle pie filling
Yes, that would work. You will need to use another liquid (such as juice or Sprite) to substitute the peach syrup.
Your recipes are easy and so delicious.
If I were to use fresh peaches how many would I need?
You will use 1/4 peach per roll so you would need two peaches for 8 rolls.
I made these for an end of summer party. I used a cookie pan and made close to 50. I used frozen peaches (3 lbs) sprinkled with a little sugar to come to room temp. It gave off about 3 cups of juice. I wrapped each crescent in a whole peach slice. Yes they stuck out a little and got a little brown. I used 2 cups of the juice to pour over the batch. I did use the spice and sugar on top. I made my own dough. I used the extra peaches and juice to flavor some frozen whipped cream
This peach cobbler recipe is so easy and delicious. You may send me recipes anytime thank. You
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe n the reviews. Positive m negative I always enjoyed reading your blogs. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Martha!
Loved this recipe but it was a little doughy on the bottom
Depending on your oven you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.
Ok thanks I’m making them again for a potluck love your recipe’s
THank you Sue! <3
All your food looks great.
Thank you!
Love this recipe love peaches
Hi holly ,was wondering can I use a can of sliced peaches ?
That would certainly work.
Holly – I have made “Apple dumplings ” for years , making my own caramel to pour over, (then Mtn. Dew). However, we are having a cooking class at church. Seven 8-10 year olds will be making dessert for about 50 people. We have only an hour so have to keep it simple! Your peach dumplings are perfect! How many crescent pkgs and cans of peaches? Thanks for your help.
Each package of crescents contains 8 rolls. You will need about 7 rolls. The peaches will depend on the size of the can but you will need about 1/4 peach per roll so about 28 peach halves. Hope that helps.
Loved it!!! Next time I will use the remaining peaches in the pan because I want more peach flavor.
It sounds so delicious and I’m gonna try them send recipes to me.
Can’t wait to try some of these!!!####
I love easy and simple recipes. Thank you. Peach dumplings sounds delicious.
Thankyou Wyolene!
Peach Dumpling, I have to do this, I love peaches anytime, anyway…
These recipes look simply delicious ! I can’t wait ti try them. Best of all they are quick and easy. So great for our busy lives.
Thank you Beth! Enjoy!
Yummy, great recipes easy and quick!
I just made them, used fresh peaches, and was enough juice to add to butter. Had them with vanilla ice-cream. Very tasty and not a lot of sugar.
So glad you enjoyed them Janice!
Okay, my review. I tried this because I thought it would be any easy thing for my 83 year old dad to do for himself as he loves peach cobbler. I felt like the amount of butter and syrup were a little heavy so I cut the butter to 3/4 of a stick and cut syrup to 1/2 cup. I always put lemon juice in my cobbler so I added 2 tsp making it a 5 ingredient recipe, sorry. IT WAS AMAZINGLY FABULOUS! If you are making ahead, you might want to use more liquid because it soaks it up over time and might leave you without drizzling syrup for your ice cream. Also, I see no reason you couldn’t just lay out half the crescent dough, top with peaches and end with the second layer of dough. It would be even better (and easy) if you used fresh peaches when in season. But the beauty of it really is that you can pull it off just about any time! I’m going to make him one and take it to him with the ingredients to make another!
I’m so glad you loved this, I agree, lemon would be fabulous in this recipe!
Love anything with peaches
Holly, do you have a good potato salad recipe>
Here are a few of my favorite potato salad recipes.
I need the type of dough u use for covering the peaches. Thsnks
This uses store bought crescent dough.
These look scrumptious…. Can’t wait to prepare and enjoy!! Thx
Could I please ask what are crescent rolls is it a type of pastry
Crescent rolls are a refrigerated dough found in most North American supermarkets.
I am trying this recipe this weekend. I purchased the Del Monte peach halves smaller can as indicated. However, I could not find the light syrup only the heavy syrup. Do you feel I need to dilute the syrup in any way to achieve the same result? Or do you feel the heavy syrup is OK as is?
I think the heavy syrup should be fine as is.
Wonderful, quick and tasty,yummy!
The video on facebook says to bake for 15 mins. Which is it? 15 or 30 – 35 mins.
There is a typo in the video, it should have read 35 minutes. Sorry for any confusion.
I love all of your recipes! Thank you
Thank you so much Carolyn!
Need good recipe for soft oatmeal and raisin cookies
My friend Mary over at Barefeet In The Kitchen has an amazing recipe! Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
Could you make with fresh peaches also?
Yes. If you use fresh peaches, you’ll need to replace the peach juice from the can with juice or with a soda like 7-Up.
Can I use canned Apples instead of peaches ?
That should work just fine. I would suggest replacing the peach juice portion of the recipe with apple juice.
This looks so yummy… I’m making this.
Thank you so much for the recipe.
How do I use Fresh Peaches instead of canned?
I have only made the recipe as written.
Holly, thank you and my family thanks you for your delicious Peach Dumpling recipe! It was a hit in our home. I want to make another for the 4th of July cookout, but my question is… can I do the same with canned apple’s? (Pie filling )
Thank you
This would work with apple pie filling however you won’t have the liquid to create the sauce. You can sub in apple juice or another sweet drink (such as Sprite). Enjoy!
I made the peach cobbler so fast so easy and really really good.Thank you for the recipe. I will make others recipes of yours also. Do you have a cook book if so would Barnes and Noble have it ?
Thanks, Evelyn
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I don’t have a cookbook as of yet.
Get busy, your recipes are wonderful and I would buy your cookbook.
LOL! Thank you so much Linda!
Wonderful! Made this and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing this super easy recipe!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Holly,
Will the Grands Crescent work just as well? It’s bake time is only 12/15 mins noticed your’s say 30 to 35 mins. Will it take much longer due to size ?
Yes, the bake time is a little bit longer because they are touching and in sauce. The grands should work just fine. You’ll want to make sure the center is cooked before removing it from the oven.
Your peach recipe says to use canned peach halves, and the instructions say to cut peaches in half. Cut the halves in half, or just use the halves as they are? Sounds yummy.
You’ll cut the peach halves in half again so each roll has 1/4 of a peach.
Looks very yummy Definitely going to make this.
So what are the other two ingredients for peach dumplings????
Peaches, butter, cinnamon sugar and crescent rolls.
For the cinnamon and sugar mixture, how much cinnamon and how much sugar? Thanks.
You can purchase it premade however, to make your own, you can mix 1/2 cup sugar with about 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
Love this recipe idea. What if you just have peaches in heavy syrup? Or will that not work?
That should work just fine!
Great recipes
Thank you!
So easy and delicious a go to recipe for any occasion.
A must try for me easy and delicious. Keeper.
What size can of peaches do you use?
I use a smaller can, you will need 4 peach halves (each cut in half to total 8) and 2/3 cup of the liquid from the can.
Do you have a favorite slow cooker cassarole that can be prepared directly from a grocery bag…in a hotel room? Sounds wierd, I know! But I am going to a picnic out-of-state and won’t have use of a kitchen. Just a mini fridge and outlet. Can you help?
Thanks!
Yes, you could create a recipe similar to my lazy crock pot lasagna replacing the cheese ravioli with meat ravioli instead of making a meat sauce.
That looks like a train wreck when served. But it still has the fabulous homemade lasagna taste.
LOL, casseroles don’t always look beautiful on the plate… but it sure does taste good! :)
most bread machines have-a recipe to make crescent rolls. I think it is mix rise then roll out the rolls.
Looks delicious
What can you use in place of the syrup from the can of peaches? I am using fresh peaches.
You can try a lemon lime soda (like 7-Up) or another similar sweetened drink. Please note that it will change the flavor but should still be delicious.
7-Up is no longer Lemon-Lime . It shocked me !
Thanks Bil, I had NO idea!! I’m totally surprised too!
You can make a simple sugar too! Simple syrup is two things: sugar and water. The ratio is also simple: 2 to 1, sugar to water.
They look so yummy. I just don’t like the crescent rolls, because of chemical additives. Have you ever seen organic crescent rolls?
I haven’t seen Organic crescent rolls (although I haven’t looked for them). You could certainly try it with a defrosted bread dough.
Almost every bread machine has a recipe for home made crescent dough. It may just be the mixing and rising part and you roll them out.
These are great ideal when you to make quick dessert, thank you
Looks great – I will be making this soon. What size is the can of peaches??
I use the smaller can. You’ll need 4 peach halves (each cut in half to give you a total of 8).
Holly, will the crescent rolls cook and not be dough-sticky beneath the juice?
Love your recipes.
Hi Joann, thanks! The rolls should not be sticky dough underneath. You can cover with foil and cook for a few extra moments if the bottoms seem a little too doughy.
Yummmmm
Lovely desserts. Thank you
Thank you Liz! :)
I didn’t see an oven temp. for this.
Sorry about that, I’ve updated the post. It bakes at 350 degrees.
This looks amazing but at what temp do we cook this?
Thanks.
Sorry about that, I’ve updated the post. It bakes at 350 degrees.
Love crescent rolls for things like this! These look so good and I cannot wait for all the juicy peaches come summertime! (even though these don’t require fresh, there is nothing like a fresh peach!)
I totally agree!! Eating fresh ripe juicy peaches (and corn on the cob) is one of my favorite parts of summer!
I have peaches from The Peach Truck in my freezer.. Any suggestions as to how to substitute them for the canned peaches?
If you thaw the peaches with sugar on them, the sugar draws out the peach juice. This, also, works on strawberries. Use enough sugar so that the juice will be as sweet as you would like. I use to freeze fresh, sliced peaches & this is what I would do so that we would have peach shortcake in the cold winter months.
This is so genius, I’m not sure why I never thought of it!!
Thank you Dorothy! They’re such an easy dessert!
Seriously, genius!
