Peach Enchiladas
Sweet and indulgent peach enchiladas feature crescent rolls filled with fruit, baked until golden, with a sugary cinnamon glaze and a splash of Mountain Dew for a unique twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place a piece of fruit on the wide end of each crescent roll and roll up.
- Arrange the rolled crescents in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients: sugar, cinnamon, melted margarine, and Mountain Dew, then pour over the rolls.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using apples instead of peaches for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute half of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup. Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent rolls to prevent leakage during baking. If you want a more indulgent topping, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Serving Suggestions
These Peach Enchiladas are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a refreshing beverage, serve with a glass of iced tea or a fruity Cranberry Wine Punch. They also make a fantastic brunch dish alongside a fruit salad or yogurt parfait for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the enchiladas in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for about 30-45 seconds, but they may lose some of their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before using to avoid excess moisture in the enchiladas. This will help maintain the texture and prevent the dish from becoming soggy during baking.
Can I make these enchiladas ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the enchiladas ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator covered for up to 24 hours before baking. Just pour the sauce over them right before you place them in the oven to ensure they stay fresh.
What can I do if I don't have Mountain Dew?
If you don’t have Mountain Dew, you can substitute it with any lemon-lime soda or even ginger ale for a similar flavor. Alternatively, a mix of lemon juice and water can provide a citrus note without the added sugar from soda.
