It’s peach season in my neck of the woods and I’ve been dying to give these a try. When I was making some of my Apple Dumplings in the fall, I thought, “Hey, these would be good with peaches, too.” I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of some beautiful, sweet peaches to give it a try.

And I’ll admit, these babies are pretty dang good. In fact, I might just like them even better than the apple version. There’s just something weird about the way all these ingredients work so well together, but it’s amazing. It’s a quick and easy way to get a delicious dessert on the table in less than 1 hour. They are dynamite when served warm alongside some vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
