Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 4 large ripe peaches
Toppings and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Serving
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a baking dish to prevent sticking and prepare for baking.
- Prepare Peaches: Cut the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Place the peach halves cut side up in the prepared baking dish, arranging them evenly.
- Mix Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg if using. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Apply Topping: Spoon the cinnamon sugar butter mixture evenly over each peach half, ensuring they are well coated to achieve a caramelized finish.
- Bake Peaches: Bake the peaches in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the topping has caramelized beautifully on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the peaches to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a richer flavor.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to your taste preferences.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based butter and coconut or soy-based ice cream.
- Make sure peaches are ripe for the best sweetness and texture.
