Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Dumpling Bubble Up
We’ve gathered some of the most common questions about making this incredible Peach Dumpling Bubble Up to ensure your baking experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Get ready to master this simple, delicious dessert!
Can I use homemade peach pie filling?
Absolutely! While this recipe is designed for ultimate convenience using canned peach pie filling, if you have a cherished homemade peach pie filling recipe or some stored away, it will work wonderfully. The core philosophy of this recipe is to be quick and easy, but feel free to elevate it with your homemade touches if you prefer. Just ensure the consistency is similar to store-bought filling for optimal results.
Can I use different pie fillings for this bubble up recipe?
You absolutely can, and we wholeheartedly encourage experimentation! This bubble up technique is incredibly adaptable. We’ve had fantastic success with a variety of fruit pie fillings, creating delightful desserts like Blackberry Pie Bubble Up, Apple Pie Bubble Up, Cherry Pie Bubble Up, and even a vibrant Blueberry Bubble Up. You can also explore savory bubble up recipes for a whole new world of flavor. The key is to use a standard canned pie filling or a homemade one with a similar thickness.
Do I have to use the sweet glaze?
The sweet glaze is completely optional. It adds a lovely touch of extra sweetness and a beautiful sheen to the finished dessert, enhancing its visual appeal and flavor profile. However, if you prefer a less sweet dessert, or are simply short on time, you can certainly skip the glaze. The Peach Dumpling Bubble Up is delicious on its own!
What is the best way to serve this dessert?
For the ultimate experience, serve this Peach Dumpling Bubble Up while it’s still warm, fresh from the oven or gently reheated. The warmth truly brings out the flavors and softens the biscuit texture. Elevate your serving with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that melts into the warm peaches, a dollop of fresh whipped topping, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar. A sprig of fresh mint or a few toasted pecan pieces can add a gourmet touch.
Can I make the peaches smaller in the pie filling?
Certainly! If you prefer smaller pieces of peaches within your pie filling for a more uniform texture, you have a couple of options. You can either gently chop the peaches from the canned pie filling before mixing them with the other ingredients, or for a quicker method, pulse the filling briefly in a food processor. Keep in mind that the peaches will soften further as the dessert bakes, so don’t over-process them if you still want some texture.
Why is the filling runny, and how can I fix it?
It’s true that this particular bubble up recipe cooks for a slightly longer time than some others, primarily due to the liquid-rich ingredients in the peach pie filling. If you find your filling is still a bit too liquidy, or if the biscuit pieces in the middle aren’t quite done while the top is browning rapidly, don’t fret. A simple solution is to loosely tent your baking dish with aluminum foil. This will prevent the top from over-browning while allowing the inside to continue cooking through and the filling to thicken beautifully. Continue baking until the biscuits are cooked and the filling has achieved a desirable consistency.
How do I reheat this dessert?
Reheating leftover Peach Dumpling Bubble Up is straightforward. For best results, we recommend reheating it in the oven, covered loosely with aluminum foil, until warmed through. This method helps maintain the integrity of the biscuits and prevents them from drying out. Alternatively, you can use a microwave for individual servings, but be mindful that the biscuits might become a bit softer. Enjoying it warm is key to its comforting appeal!
What do I do with leftovers?
Leftovers of this delightful Peach Dumpling Bubble Up are a treat! Store any remaining portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. When freezing, ensure the dessert is completely cooled, then wrap individual portions or the entire dish tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Essential Ingredients for Your Delicious Peach Dumpling Bubble Up
Crafting this incredibly easy and delicious Peach Dumpling Bubble Up requires just a handful of straightforward ingredients. Each component plays a vital role in achieving that perfect balance of sweet, tender, and comforting flavors. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll need to gather:
- Peach Pie Filling: The star of our show! A 21-ounce can of peach pie filling provides both the juicy fruit and the thick, sweet sauce that coats our biscuits. You can opt for a sugar-free variety if you’re managing sugar intake, without compromising on flavor. The convenience of canned filling ensures this dessert can be enjoyed all year, regardless of fresh peach availability.
- Light Brown Sugar: This ingredient adds a rich, molasses-infused sweetness and depth to the peach mixture. Packed light brown sugar contributes to the dessert’s caramelized notes as it bakes. If you’re aiming for a lower-sugar option, consider using a brown sugar substitute like Truvia or Swerve, which are specifically designed to mimic the taste and texture of real brown sugar.
- Salted Butter: Real salted butter is crucial here, not margarine. It adds unparalleled richness, flavor, and moisture to the overall dish, contributing to the dumpling-like texture of the biscuits. Melted butter ensures it blends smoothly into the filling, coating every piece of biscuit dough evenly for a tender bake.
- Vanilla Extract: While optional, a good quality vanilla extract is highly recommended. It deepens and rounds out the flavors, adding a subtle warmth and aromatic complexity that truly elevates the peach and cinnamon notes. Don’t underestimate the power of a splash of vanilla to transform a simple dessert.
- Ground Cinnamon: This classic spice pairs beautifully with peaches, infusing the dessert with a warm, inviting aroma and a comforting taste. If cinnamon isn’t to your liking, feel free to omit it, but it truly enhances the “pie” and “dumpling” experience. You could also experiment with a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for a different twist.
- Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Biscuits: These ready-to-bake biscuits are the foundation of our “bubble up” structure. You’ll need about 10 biscuits in total. While flaky biscuits can also work, the Homestyle variety provides a denser, more doughy texture that soaks up the peach syrup wonderfully, giving a true dumpling feel. If your cans contain fewer biscuits, just adjust the quantity to reach approximately 10 biscuits for the best ratio of dough to filling.
- Powdered Sugar: Essential for crafting the smooth, sweet glaze that finishes this dessert. Powdered sugar dissolves easily, creating a fine, pourable icing that sets beautifully without being grainy.
- Milk: Just a tablespoon of milk is needed to whisk with the powdered sugar, forming the perfect consistency for our decadent glaze. Any type of milk (dairy or non-dairy) will work, so use what you have on hand.
How to Make a Delicious Peach Dumpling Bubble Up
Creating this easy Peach Dumpling Bubble Up is a breeze. Follow these simple steps for a warm, comforting dessert that tastes like it took hours, but comes together in minutes!
- Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is at the correct temperature for even baking. Next, take a standard 9×13-inch baking dish and lightly spray it with cooking spray. A non-stick spray is best to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. Set the prepared dish aside.
- Combine the Peach Filling Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire can of peach pie filling, light brown sugar, melted salted butter, vanilla extract (if using), and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir these ingredients together thoroughly until they are well combined and smooth. The brown sugar should dissolve, and all the flavors should be uniformly distributed. This creates the luscious base for our bubble up.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open your cans of Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Biscuits. On a clean cutting board, take each biscuit and cut it into 8 equal pieces. These smaller biscuit chunks will resemble mini dumplings and will effectively absorb all the delicious peach sauce during baking.
- Fold Biscuits into Filling: Add the cut biscuit pieces directly into the large bowl with the peach pie filling mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the biscuits into the mixture. Be careful not to overmix or vigorously stir, as this can make the biscuits tough. The goal is to ensure every piece of biscuit dough is coated generously with the peach mixture.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the entire biscuit and peach mixture into your prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly using your spatula, creating a consistent layer across the bottom of the dish. This ensures that all components bake uniformly.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is beautifully golden brown, the biscuits are cooked through and tender in the center, and the peach filling is visibly bubbly around the edges. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil for the remaining bake time. Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a counter to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
- Prepare the Sweet Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a smooth, pourable glaze with no lumps. If it’s too thick, add a tiny bit more milk, a few drops at a time. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
-
Glaze and Serve: Generously pour the prepared glaze all over the warm Peach Dumpling Bubble Up. The warmth of the dessert will allow the glaze to slightly melt and seep into the crevices, adding an extra layer of sweetness and shine. Serve immediately while warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat!
