Description
Warm baked peaches with juicy flesh that softens into a bubbling cinnamon-sugar glaze. Each tender half carries a hint of vanilla and butter, creating a golden, fragrant treat that’s perfect with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 medium peaches
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl whisk together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Halve the peaches and remove the pits.
- Arrange the peach halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the sugar–cinnamon mixture evenly over each peach half.
- Dot each peach half with small pieces of butter.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the peaches are tender and the sugar is caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Substitute brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
