Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit.
Arrange the peach halves cut-side up in a baking dish, ensuring they are snugly placed but not overlapping.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over each peach half, ensuring the tops and cavities are coated.
Sprinkle a small pinch of granulated sugar over each peach half for added caramelization.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the peaches are tender and slightly golden on the edges. Baste the peaches with the sauce from the baking dish halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy your Baked Vanilla Peaches!
