Peaches
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
Topping
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the peaches evenly.
- Arrange peaches: Place the halved and pitted peaches cut-side up in a baking dish, arranging them evenly for uniform cooking.
- Make the sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well to blend the flavors.
- Add topping to peaches: Spoon the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the peaches, covering them generously.
- Drizzle butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter over the peach halves to add richness and help caramelize the topping while baking.
- Bake peaches: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the brown sugar topping is bubbly and caramelized.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve the baked peaches warm, optional to pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture before baking.
- These baked peaches are delicious when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
