5. Arrange rolled dumplings in the baking dish in a single layer.
6. Melt butter and mix with brown sugar, then pour over the dumplings.

Tips and Conclusion

These dumplings are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven, but they store beautifully. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container. You can reheat them in the microwave or oven for a next-day dessert that’s just as delicious.

Want to mix things up? Try substituting the peaches for apples or pears in the fall, or add a pinch of nutmeg or clove for an extra autumnal twist.
