Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring peaches, vanilla, and sugar to a boil in a saucepan.
- Pinch biscuits into tiny pieces and add them to the boiling mixture.
- Cover and cook slowly until the biscuits are done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using fresh peaches if they're in season, slicing them thinly for quicker cooking. You can also substitute the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness. If you prefer a lower-calorie option, consider using reduced-fat biscuits. Make sure to pinch the biscuits small enough so they cook through properly in the peach mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach dumplings warm, drizzled with a little of the peach syrup from the saucepan. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. For a refreshing drink, consider serving them alongside a glass of Super Fruit Punch for a delightful summer dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture, heating in 30-second increments until warmed through. Alternatively, gently reheat in a saucepan over low heat on the stove.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the saucepan. The cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly, so monitor the texture to ensure the dumplings cook evenly.
What can I do if the biscuits don't cook through?
If you notice that the biscuits are not cooking properly, make sure the heat is low enough to allow the dumplings to simmer gently. You can also add a little more liquid to the pan if needed, ensuring that the biscuits have enough moisture to cook through without burning.
Are there any vegan alternatives for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use a can of peaches in syrup or juice, and for the biscuits, look for a vegan biscuit brand or make your own with plant-based ingredients. Substitute sugar with coconut sugar or agave for a vegan-friendly sweetness. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegan version of the dessert!
