Notes:

Peaches: Ensure the canned peaches are well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the dumplings.

Crescent Roll Dough: Handle the dough gently and ensure it’s at room temperature for easy rolling. Separate into triangles and place peach slices on the wider end.

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Combine ground cinnamon with granulated sugar for sprinkling over the peaches. Adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness and cinnamon flavor.

Assembly: Roll the crescent roll dough around the peach slices and pinch the ends tightly to seal. This prevents the filling from leaking during baking.

Butter: Melt the butter thoroughly and evenly distribute it over the assembled dumplings in the baking dish. This adds richness and helps in creating a caramelized sauce.

Lemon Lime Soda: Pour the soda carefully around the dumplings in the baking dish. This helps create a sweet syrup as it bakes.

Baking Time: Bake until the crescent roll dough is lightly golden on top, which typically takes about 30-35 minutes. Monitor closely near the end of baking to avoid over-browning.

Serving: Serve the dumplings warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm dumplings and cold ice cream create a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.

Variations: You can customize this recipe by adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking, or by substituting the lemon-lime soda with ginger ale for a slightly different flavor profile.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and reheated gently in the oven or microwave before serving again.
