Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or drizzle of honey
- Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Halve and pit peaches, then arrange cut side up in the prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
- Spoon or brush the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over each peach half.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until peaches are soft and topping is bubbling and golden.
- Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes for added caramelization, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or chopped nuts.
Notes
- Use slightly firm ripe peaches for best texture.
- Coconut oil can replace butter for a dairy-free version.
- For richer flavor, use honey or maple syrup in place of granulated sugar.
- Top with granola for a crunchy breakfast twist.
- Delicious served warm or chilled over yogurt.
