In a large, deep skillet or wide saucepan, combine the blueberries, sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, water, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to coat the fruit.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the fruit starts to release its juices.
While the fruit mixture is simmering, prepare the dumpling batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop the dumpling batter in heaping tablespoons over the simmering fruit mixture. Leave some space between each dumpling as they will expand while cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and let the dumplings steam for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings cook properly.
After 12-15 minutes, check the dumplings by inserting a toothpick into one; it should come out clean when done.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the dumplings cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
