Ingredients
For the Dumplings
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz each)
- 4 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker syrup)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup water or reserved juice from canned peaches
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and cornstarch (if using)
- Stir in the water or peach juice to create a syrupy mixture
Step 3: Cut and Arrange the Biscuits
- Separate the refrigerated biscuits and cut each one into quarters (or smaller)
- Evenly layer half of the biscuit pieces in the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Step 4: Add the Peach Filling
- Pour the peach mixture over the biscuit layer evenly
- Top with the remaining biscuit pieces, scattering them across the top
Step 5: Drizzle with Butter
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire dish
Step 6: Bake
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked all the way through.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the dish is ready.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
Tips for Success
- Fresh vs. Canned Peaches: Use ripe, firm peaches if fresh. If canned, drain well and reserve juice for syrup
- Thicker Syrup: Mix cornstarch with cold water before adding for smoother thickening
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee
- Add a finishing touch with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce
