Peach Dumplings

Leave it to me to take a simple, four ingredient recipe like peach dumplings and make it harder.  While most home cooks are busy trying to simplify recipes, I'm over here, modifying recipes so they take TWICE as long to prepare. 🤣 Although it appears to most that I'm simply tying to waste more time in my kitchen, I'm actually just trying to figure out how to get the best possible outcome from each recipe that I make.  

The most basic peach dumpling recipes have four ingredients: peaches, crescent rolls, cinnamon sugar and butter.  What could be easier?  I've made this 4 ingredient dumpling recipe and I wasn't at all dissatisfied with my experience but part of the joy that I find in dessert, comes from the process of making it.  I actually LIKE the feel of soft dough in my hands and the smell of peaches simmering on the stove.  The investment in time that is takes to make homemade dumplings actually makes the experience of eating them, even more rewarding.

I'm certainly not going to be recipe shaming anyone for making the 4 ingredient peach dumplings.  They're quick, they're easy and they're downright tasty.  But if WANT to make your own dumpling dough and peach filling, you need to try this recipe inspired by America's Test Kitchen.  For me, the results are worth the added effort but you decide for yourself.   Oh and a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream is an absolute must for this scrumptious dessert.

Disclaimer: I'm fairy certain that the peaches used in this recipe came from South Carolina but for arguments sake, let's just say this is a peach recipe from the Peach State.  🍑

The rainy season is about to begin and while there is heat, we can all prepare some nice dessert to make the vacation more fun and exciting. I want to make some great dessert that will leave a mark and people will remember me for the rest of their lives. It might sound crazy at first, but it will happen soon if we just keep on moving forward and believe in what we have in this world. A dessert for the whole gang to love.
