How to Make Peach Cobbler with Crescent Rolls

This recipe is incredibly easy to make. It only takes a few minutes and a few simple steps. Even beginners can make it!

Before we get started, you need to prep the peaches!

Fresh Peaches

If you're using fresh peaches, you'll need to remove the skin. If you've never done it before, don't worry. It's easy! I'll be breaking it down so you can quickly and easily get that skin off and move on to baking!

Cut a small x on the bottom of your peaches, then place 2 to 4 of them in a large pot of boiling water for 30 seconds.

Then, quickly transfer them to a bowl of ice water for a couple of seconds until they're cool enough to handle.

Peel the peaches starting at the x. The skin should come right off!

Canned or Frozen Peaches

If you're using frozen peaches, you'll need to let them completely defrost and pat them dry with a paper towel so you don't have too much liquid in your peach mixture.

If you're using canned peaches, drain well before adding them to the cobbler.

Once your peaches are prepped you're ready to get started. Here are the highlights of the steps involved. You'll find the complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of the post.

1. Combine the sugars, water, cinnamon, and butter in a saucepan and boil to create a syrup.

2. Roll out the crescent rolls and place 2 peach slices on each one.
3. Roll them up and place them in a buttered dish. Repeat the process until all crescent rolls are used.

4. Cut up the remaining peaches and sprinkle them over the top.
5. Pour the syrup over the peach dumplings.

6. Bake until golden brown and the syrup is bubbly.

7. Mix up the homemade whipped cream. Combine the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.

How to Store

• Refrigerator: Store this cobbler in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up 5 days.
• Freezer: Place the cobbler in a well-sealed, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Be aware that freezing and defrosting the cobbler will make the dumplings a bit mushy, but they'll still be delicious.
• Make Ahead: For the best flavor and texture, I recommend making this the day you plan to serve it.
