Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh peaches
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 cup whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly under cold running water. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits. If desired, cut the halves into quarters for smaller pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't burn.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly.
Gently place the peach halves or quarters into the skillet, flesh side down. Cook the peaches for 3-4 minutes on each side, spooning some of the caramelized sauce over the top as they cook.
Once the peaches are tender and have taken on a golden caramelized color, remove them from the heat.
Serve the warm peaches immediately, drizzled with any leftover sauce from the skillet. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
