ingredients

1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 packages (8 ounce size) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 firm ripe peaches, peeled and quartered
1 can (12 ounce size) Mountain Dew or Sprite

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the dough along the perforations. Place a peach quarter near the wide end of the triangle. Roll the dough up over the peach, starting at the wide end. Gently pinch the edges of the dough to seal the peach inside.

Place the dough seam side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough and peach quarters.

Evenly top the rolled dough with the butter mixture, trying to cover the dough as completely as possible.

Very gently pour the Mountain Dew over the dough so as not to wash off the butter mixture.

Bake the peach enchiladas, uncovered, for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the peach enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the warm dessert with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

recipe tips

Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the butter mixture.

Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking for extra flavor.

If you're looking for a caramelized top, you can broil the enchiladas for the last few minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serve with a caramel sauce or a drizzle of honey for a sweeter dessert.

Try different flavored sodas like ginger ale or peach flavored soda.

Add finely chopped nuts to butter mixture for a crunchier texture.

common recipe questions

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Drain them well before using to prevent the dish from becoming too soggy.

Is there a substitute for Mountain Dew or Sprite?

If you prefer not to use soda, you can substitute it with a mix of club soda or water and a little lemon juice for flavor and acidity, although the unique flavor from the soda will be altered.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

You can assemble the enchiladas ahead of time and refrigerate them until you're ready to bake. However, add the soda just before baking to make sure the dough doesn't become too soggy.

Can I use another type of fruit?

Yes, you can experiment with other types of fruit such as apples, pears, or berries for a different flavor. Adjust cooking times accordingly, especially if using fruits that cook faster or slower than peaches.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.

Can I freeze Peach Enchiladas?

While you can freeze them, the texture of the dough and peaches may change upon thawing and reheating. If you choose to freeze them, do so before baking, and add the soda just before you bake them after thawing.

after so many cooked recipes that turn out terrible, I always read the reviews first before I do anything. This dish has terrific reviews and one person said canned peaches were ok to use. I am going to make this recipe right away. Either with canned or frozen peaches.

I had doubts that this would turn out. Seemed like an odd recipe but it was good. We were all surprised by how good it was actually. I added a cinnamon sugar butter streusel topping at the end and let that melt on it.

I made this for a church meeting and received rave reviews. I'm doing low carb and so didn't taste for myself. We have another meeting tomorrow and the dish has been requested.

I used canned peaches (just drain them REALLY well first) since fresh peaches are unpredictable as far as ripeness and availability. Plus, canned can kept on hand. You'd think the dessert would get soggy with all the mountain dew but it doesn't, it turns out wondeful.

Love this recipe!!! It's easy to prepare and is great with vanilla ice cream. Will definitely make again.

This recipe is absolutely delicious, and very easy to make! One cresent rolled peach is just the perfect portion size for an individual. This would give you 16 servings. You must have it with ice cream! YUM!!
