- Divide pastry in half and roll each half into a 14-inch square.
- Cut each 14-inch square into four 7-inch squares.
- Place a peach on each square. Moisten corners of pastry squares; bring 2 opposite corners up over peach and pinch.
- Repeat with opposite corners; pinch edges to seal.
- Place dumplings in a baking dish large enough that dough does not touch.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until crust is golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare spicy honey sauce by mixing maple syrup with honey in a small, heavy saucepan and heating over LOW heat while stirring. When syrup is hot, add spices and cook over MEDIUM heat, stirring until sauce boils. Makes 1 cup.
- Serve dumplings warm or cool with warm sauce and sweetened whipped cream.
