If you’ve ever had the pleasure of eating this style of dumpling, then you already know this recipe is going to be a real treat. We’ve made many different versions over the years and every single one has been delicious. Add a scoop of ice cream on top and they’re downright heavenly. These easy Cherry Dumplings are no exception. Made with crescent roll dough and cherry pie filling they are super simple to whip up and guaranteed to please.

I have to say, the tart cherry and sweet buttery flavors go together beautifully. You’ll want to spoon a few cherries into the center of a triangle of crescent dough, then seal the edges of the dough around it. Place the dumplings in a large baking dish and then start on the sauce. Melted butter, brown sugar, a little sauce from the cherry pie filling, cinnamon, and vanilla are mixed together and then poured over the prepared dumplings. The final step is adding some lemon lime soda. Be careful to pour the soda around the dumplings and not on top of the dough so they’ll get nice and crisp as they bake.

If you’re looking for an easy dessert that is sure to be loved by all, then this is the one. Top the dumplings off with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and no one will be able to resist. Give this Cherry Dumpling recipe a try for your next special occasion and see for yourself. Happy baking!
