Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Peel and pit the peaches, then cut them into quarters. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Slowly add the ice water, a little at a time, while mixing the dough with a fork until it comes together.
5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
6. Roll out each portion of dough into a 1/4 inch thick circle.
7. Place a peach quarter in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the peach and pinch to seal.
8. In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar is dissolved.
9. Pour the sugar syrup over the dumplings in a baking dish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and the peaches are tender.
11. Serve the warm dumplings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
12. Enjoy!
