Recipe Notes
The key to making delicious peach dumplings is using ripe, juicy peaches. Look for peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
If you don't have access to fresh peaches, it's okay to use canned peaches. I wouldn't make this recipe with frozen peaches though.
Allow the peach dumplings to cool slightly before serving. They are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

📋Ingredients
Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!
- Refrigerated crescent rolls
- Peaches
- Cinnamon and sugar mixture
- Butter
- 1 can 12 oz of Mountain Dew Soda
Can I substitute Mountain Dew Soda?
The answer to this question is YES! Just make sure you use a full sugar beverage. This is not the time to be using a diet soda. Here are a few options if you don't care for the taste of Mountain Dew Soda:
- 7-Up Soda - I have made this recipe a few times using 7-Up Soda.
- Lemon-Lime Soda - such as Sprite.
- Ginger Ale - works great too!
- Orange Juice - I have not tried orange juice, but I hear other people have and enjoyed the recipe.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Open the package of crescent rolls. Unroll them and divide into pieces.
Step 2: First, slice your peaches thinly. Place one or two slices on the wider end of each crescent roll, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar (about ¼ teaspoon per roll).
Step 3: Gently roll up each crescent roll, starting at the wide end where you placed the peaches. Arrange them in a 9 x 13 baking dish that's been lightly greased with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4: Sprinkle a little more of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the rolls. You don't have to, but I enjoy the extra sweetness!
Step 5: Melt the butter and pour over the crescent rolls. Then pour the Mountain Dew soda all around.
Baking Instructions
Step 6: Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
Quick Tip
Even if you're not a Mountain Dew fan, this recipe might change your mind. The soda works magic during baking, leaving no trace of its original flavor.pen_spark

Amy Allen says
What size can of crescent rolls do you use? 8oz or 12oz?
Lois says
I use the 8 ounce size can of crescent rolls. I didn't even know they make a 12 ounce! Thank you for visiting.
Maggy Pachay says
What happens if you skip the soda, or just use half the amount? That seems like a lot of added sugar.
Adam says
Do you not need to remove the skin from the peach for the recipe?
Lois says
No. Thanks for visiting!
Pat Ross says
You can use sprite. I never use Mountain Dew
Faye Macklin says
You can use zero sugar sparkling water for no sugar it works real well except your syrup doesn’t get thick
Lois says
That's a great idea. Thank you!
Tammi says
Why not diet pop?
Lois says
You need the sugar from the soda to give the dumplings flavor.
Diane says
I used orange juice and they were absolutely delicious and a hit. This definitely will be my go to dessert.
Lois says
Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Sue says
Truvia now has a sweetener that is 100% sugar-free that measures and tastes just like sugar. It can be used in any recipe - baking, canning (I used it in some peach jam last week), anything that calls for sugar, but you don't want to use sugar!
Lois says
Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Mandy says
Can these be made the night before for a meeting snack the next day or are they best fresh out of the oven?
Lois says
They do reheat nicely in the microwave but if you want to impress, I would make them the day of your meeting so they are fresh. Thank you for visiting!

Lois, this is such a great idea! I feel inspired right now to roll all kinds of fruit in dough. And even try it with coke instead of the Mt. Dew. Oh I see I need to go into the kitchen right now 🙂 Pinned!

Drooling over here!
Blondee says
Those look so yummy!
Vee says
Sigh. I love this recipe and have never thought to use apples.
Hilary Cook says
Can I ask why you use Mt. Dew? It is so bad for you. Does it do something special for the recipe? Can you omit it?
debi says
I make a recipe similar to this using canned apples wrapped in flour tortillas with no mountain dew. I'm curious, like you, as to the reason...
Richard Egeland says
You can use ANY lemon-lime carbonated (non-diet)soft drink, it doesn't have to be Mountain Dew. The lemon lime goes with the fruit, and the carbonation helps to cook the bottom of the dumplings so they aren't doughy and don't burn as the liquid evaporates.
Dorothy de Lambert says
I have the same question. What could you use as a substitute for Mountain Dew? They look lovely and easy to make, but I hate to use Mountain Dew for anything. Could I use lemonade instead?
Lois says
I updated the post to show the alternative sodas you could use for this recipe. Although, I hate Mountain Dew as a drink. I don't care for the taste of it at all, however, you do not taste it in this recipe! I would encourage you to try the Mountain Dew and see how the recipe comes out!
Lois says
I updated the post to show a few other substitutes Dorothy!
