Ingredients
Peaches
- 4 large ripe peaches
Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of cloves
- Pinch of salt
For Serving
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the peaches evenly.
- Prepare Peaches: Slice the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Arrange the peach halves cut side up on a large baking sheet or pan.
- Add Butter: Place a small piece of butter into the center of each peach half to ensure richness and moisture during baking.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the peaches to add warmth and sweetness.
- Bake Peaches: Bake the peaches in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are tender and have a nice golden color.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture after baking.
- Adjust spices to taste, adding more cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with coconut oil and serve with non-dairy ice cream.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the warm contrast with cold ice cream.
