Peach "Cobbler"


Yes, Peach "Cobbler."
Doesn't look like it,
does it?

But taste it, and you will call it a cobbler.


Disregard number of Crescent Rolls.
I mistakenly opened a package of 6 Large Crescent Rolls
so I had to cut more peaches
and open another can of 6 smaller rolls.

Personally, I like the taste of the smaller rolls
with the peaches
better that the larger ones.

Peach Cobbler - Serves 8
Ingredients:
2 Peaches, pealed and sliced into 8 pieces
1 can Crescent Rolls (8 to a pkg)
1/4 C Butter
1/2 C Sugar
14 tsp Vanilla
8 oz Lemon Lime Soda of choice
Cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Lightly butter a 9" x 13" baking pan.
3. Roll 1 peach slice in a Crescent Roll, place in pan.
4. Melt butter, mix in sugar and vanilla, pour over Crescent Rolls.
5. Pour Lemon Lime soda around the outside of the pan, not over the Crescent Rolls.
6. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
7. Bake 40 minutes.

Serve hot, with ice cream, or serve cold for breakfast pastry.

Crescent Roll Dessert Pizza

The hubster and I couldn't wait to try it.
Two pieces gone and a LOT to go :)

Pizza
2 (8 oz) pkgs Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 C Powdered Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla or Almond Extract
2 (21 oz) cans of Pie Filling

Glaze (not really needed but it looks good)
1/2 C Powdered Sugar
2 - 3 tsp Milk


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Unroll crescent rolls and arrange 12 of the triangles (wide side out, pointed end in) on a parchment lined cookie sheet or pizza pan.
  3. Lightly flour the rolls and roll out the seams making a 14" circle. (We took the parchment paper and rolls off the pan so they were flat . . I used a wine bottle as a roller.)
  4. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla (or almond) and mix well . . it will seem thin, but it is perfect.)
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll crust.
  6. Top with 1 can of pie filling . . we needed two, so I put two in the ingredients just in case.
  7. Cut the remaining 4 crescent triangles into thirds . . . place them over the pie filling (wide side to the outside like the crust) so you have a "wheel with spokes" look to the pizza.
  8. Bake 20 - 30 minutes or until edges are lightly brown.
  9. Cool.
  10. If you want a glaze, mix glaze ingredients together and drizzle over the dessert.

HINTS
  1. We used WalMart's Great Value Crescent Rolls . . they taste like a pie crust when baked . . light and flaky.
  2. We had planned on using Carmel Apple Pie Filling, but when it only covered half the pizza, we put Cherry Pie filling on the other half . . . two desserts for one.
  3. Next time, no glaze . . the pizza is good without it.

Cherry Cheesecake Bundles

This is not my original recipe. I found it, in February, at a "Linky Party" from Lemon Tree Dwelling.  It has been sitting in the kitchen window waiting to be made. I was bored out of my gourd, so today was the day.

No smart comments from the Peanut Gallery on the burnt pie filling that I dribbled.

Ingredients
1pkg Crescent Rolls
 (I like the flakiness of Great Valu from WalMart) 
1 Can Cherry Pie Filling
(must try them with apple and peach)
4 oz Cream Cheese 
(I used low fat and it tasted great)
Powdered Sugar, or Icing of Choice

Directions
1. Open up and divide Crescent Rolls.
2. Place 1 oz of cream cheese on each roll.

I didn't leave the cream cheese out to get to room temp.
Holding the Crescent Roll in my hand
gave just enough body heat to allow me to spread it easily.
3. Top with 2 T Cheery Pie Filling 
(I used 1 T on some and it "oozed" out the same as the 2 T)
These 4 have 1T of Cherry Pie filling on them.
Can you imagine how much 2T would be?
4. Roll up Crescent Rolls
(It is a little tricky, but just roll and it will be fine.)

5. Bake at 375 degree for 12 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Or, let cool and top with icing of choice.
