Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed cookies (e.g., graham crackers, shortbread, or gingersnaps)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Wash the peaches and slice them in half. Remove the pits and set the peach halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat.
Using a spoon, drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the peaches.
Sprinkle crushed cookies over the top of the peaches, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere to the butter mixture.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the peaches are slightly softened and the cookie topping is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the peaches from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
