Add honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine, forming a smooth caramel sauce.
Carefully add the fruit to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3β4 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the fruits are coated in the caramel sauce and slightly softened. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or alongside vanilla ice cream.
