Baked Peaches Recipe
These baked peaches are a deliciously warm and tender dessert, highlighted by the sweetness of the peaches and a touch of cinnamon. Simple to prepare, they make an elegant ending to any meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons sugar brown or white
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Honey or maple syrup optional
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare the Peaches: Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Optionally, peel the peaches if the skin comes off easily.
- Mix the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Fill the Peaches: Place a small piece of butter in the hollow of each peach half, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake the Peaches: Arrange the peach halves, cut side up, in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the peaches are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Serve: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you like, and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Peach Ripeness: Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Add Some Crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts like almonds or pecans on top before baking for added texture.
- Serving Ideas: These peaches are great on their own, but they’re even better with ice cream or whipped cream.
