Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., vanilla ice cream or whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove the pits. If desired, slice each peach half into quarters for smaller pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and light brown sugar. Set aside.
In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the peach halves or slices cut side up.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the peaches to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the peaches.
Dot the peaches with small pieces of unsalted butter, distributing it evenly.
Drizzle honey over the peaches for added sweetness.
Place the skillet or baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the sugar mixture has caramelized.
Remove the peaches from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Top with a drizzle of vanilla extract for an aromatic boost.
Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings, such as vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
