Baked Peaches
These baked peaches smell like fall in the summer! The cinnamon and sugar glaze gives a caramelized sweetness in every bite. If you want to take this subtly sweet dessert in a more savory direction, skip the ice cream topping and serve the peaches with a sprig of thyme instead, or sprinkle granola over the baked peaches for a texture similar to streusel.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 small fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- vanilla ice cream or strained (greek-style) yogurt for serving (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Stir butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla together in a small bowl until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange peaches cut-side down on top of the butter mixture. Bake until tender, 20 to 25 minutes, basting the tops of the peaches with the melted butter mixture halfway through. Divide the peaches, cut-side up, among 4 small plates. Serve with ice cream (or yogurt), if desired.
