Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the peaches evenly.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Arrange them cut side up in a baking dish, making sure they fit snugly but with enough space for air circulation.
  3. Add Sugar and Cinnamon: Sprinkle a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over each peach half, ensuring a sweet and spicy coating.
  4. Top with Butter: Place small pieces of unsalted butter on top of each peach half to add richness and help create a luscious glaze as it bakes.
  5. Bake the Peaches: Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the peaches for approximately 20-25 minutes or until they become soft and tender, bubbling slightly with the melted butter and sugar.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These baked peaches are perfect on their own or served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
  • Adjust sugar amount based on the sweetness of the peaches.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg with the cinnamon.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with margarine or coconut oil.
