Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped nuts or granola, for topping (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream, yogurt, or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place peach halves cut-side up in the dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla (if using).
  4. Spoon the mixture into the centers of the peaches and spread slightly over the tops.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until peaches are tender and the topping is bubbling and caramelized.
  6. Serve warm with ice cream, yogurt, or whipped cream. Top with nuts or granola if desired.

Notes

  • Leave skins on for texture or peel if preferred.
  • Try a splash of bourbon or maple syrup in the topping for added flavor.
  • Crushed cookies or pecans add crunch and richness.
  • Reheat in microwave or oven; great cold with yogurt for breakfast.
  • Assemble ahead and bake just before serving for convenience.
