Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., chopped pecans, whipped cream, caramel sauce)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the peach slices to the skillet in a single layer.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
Cook the peaches for 3-4 minutes on one side, then gently flip them using tongs or a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Be careful not to overcook as they can become mushy.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract during the final minute of cooking to enhance the flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the peaches cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Scoop a generous portion of vanilla ice cream into bowls or dessert plates.
Top the ice cream with the warm sauteed peaches and drizzle any leftover syrup from the skillet on top.
Garnish with optional toppings such as chopped pecans, whipped cream, or caramel sauce if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
