    Hot crescent dumplings filled with cherries and covered in a sweet cola glaze and sliced almonds.

    Some of the best desserts are those that appear to be much more complex than they actually are.  This hot skillet of baked cherry cola dumplings is a prime example of that very thing.

    They are simple and easy enough to put together to serve your family as an after dinner treat, but they are so completely amazing that they would be right at home as the main event dessert at any family gathering or dinner party.

    These warm cherry almond dumplings look so pretty and fancy, but they couldn't be easier to make.

    In fact, the hardest part of making this recipe is letting the sizzling dumplings rest before scooping one out.  Doing so allows the sweet juices in the pan to thicken into a rich cherry and almond syrup.  Hoo boy.

    These amazingly delicious dumplings are best when served warm, and don't forget to spoon out some of that sauce from the bottom of the pan to drizzle over the top.

    This dessert is fantastic when served with some vanilla ice cream.  Whipped cream would be good too.  Or you could do both, because we're all friends here.
