Tender peaches baked with cinnamon, butter and brown sugar for a warm, syrupy dessert that's perfect with ice cream.
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 ripe peaches
02 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
07 -
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
08 -
A pinch of salt
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 -
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits carefully. If desired, you can leave the skins on or peel them, depending on your preference.
03 -
Arrange the peach halves in a baking dish, cut side up.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir to mix well.
05 -
Drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract over the peach halves.
06 -
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the peaches.
07 -
Add a few drops of lemon juice to each peach half for a bright contrast to the sweetness. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the peaches to balance the flavors.
08 -
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the peaches are tender and the sugar mixture has melted into a syrup.
09 -
For a golden, crispy top, remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of baking.
10 -
Once baked, remove the peaches from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
The peaches can be served as a dessert on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
02 -
If you prefer a bit of crunch, top the peaches with a sprinkling of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking.
03 -
These baked peaches are a great addition to a breakfast spread, especially when paired with yogurt or granola.
04 -
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture, as they will bake into a soft, juicy treat.
