Recipe Box, Almond Peach Dumplings

the Painted Apron

I made this twice in one week…that’s how good and easy it is

During baking, the butter and sugar cause the dough and the fruit to transform into a heavenly dumpling

All you need is a roll of crescent roll dough, 2-3 peaches, almond extract, sugar and butter

Toss your peaches in boiling water for 45-60 seconds to make quick work of removing the peel

It will slide right off

Cut peaches into large sections, about 1/4 of a peach

Separate dough triangles and slather with almond emulsion* or almond extract

*emulsions do not have alcohol and therefore pack a little more flavor since the alcohol in extracts tends to evaporate during cooking

Wrap the peach section in a dough triangle and place in a greased baking dish

Bring water, butter and sugar to a boil and cook for several minutes

Pour over dumplings in baking dish

Sprinkle liberally with sugar and almonds if desired

The sugar forms a sweet crunchy crust after baking

Drizzle pan sauce over the dumplings when serving
