Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Peaches
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granola or chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits.
Place the peach halves cut-side up in a microwave-safe dish.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the center of each peach half.
Drizzle a small amount (about 1/8 teaspoon) of vanilla extract onto each peach half.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut sides of the peaches.
Cover the microwave-safe dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (leave a small vent for steam to escape).
Microwave the peaches on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and heated through. Start checking at the 3-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let the peaches cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Optionally, top the peaches with granola or chopped nuts for added crunch.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
