Homemade Peach Dumplings is an old family recipe with a twist. This recipe cooks on the stove in one pan and is warm, appetizing and flavorful. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!
It is about as delicious as it gets. These Homemade Peach Dumplings are sweet and flavorful, a sweet bed of peaches with a pillow-y dumpling on top. Yes, it really is that great.
This is a delicious peach recipe that is even better when peaches are in season. (Like homemade peach butter - yum!) This cooks in one pan so the clean up is easy and it doesn't take long to make. In fact, serving this warm is ideal so I let it cook while we are eating supper so it is ready when supper is over, perfect for dessert.

Frozen peaches or fresh peaches
Well, either. Or both, depending on how you look at it. If you have fresh peaches on hand, I would use those. Peel them and slice them and it is good to go. If you froze some over the summer like I did, those work great as well. Just make sure they are thawed. Frozen peaches from the store can be used as well.
How to cook the peaches
The peaches, frozen or fresh will be placed in a large skillet. A cast iron skillet works as well. They will be cooked until they are thawed.
Dumplings
The dumplings are placed on top of the peaches. Then they will bake with the peaches. The dumplings will spread and fill the gaps and cover the peaches nicely. The peach dumplings will simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes while the dumplings cook through. If you time it right, they will be ready by the end of supper for your family to enjoy!
FAQ
No. They bake completely on the stove.
Yes you can! Apple pie filling works well.
Oh, yes!!
These peach dumplings are a delightful dessert recipe your family will love anytime of year. Enjoy when peaches are fresh and have a delicious treat for your family!

Can you use the large canned peach halves?

I have never used canned peaches with this recipe before, so I can't speak on it directly. However, I would say you can.

I loved this, so simple! My grandma used to make these when I was a little girl.

I'm so glad it reminded you of yesteryear! :-) The peach dumplings are delicious! Glad you enjoyed them.

Fruit and dumplings is one of my favorite desserts to make. I've done blackberries and raspberries, so I was excited to try peaches. My husband and I felt the peaches were missing some sweetness (and they were very ripe). If I made this again, I would definitely add some sugar to the peaches. Unfortunately, the dumplings never cooked for me. Some were good, lots were still just like batter. I added more cook time and tried flipping them thinking they would cook better touching the peaches. Not sure what happened :(

Thank you for your honest review! I'm not sure why the dumplings didn't cook well for you. I have made this recipe many times and it always turns out great. Were the dumplings different sizes? And was the pan covered while cooking? That is the two thoughts I had.
