4-Ingredient Baked Peaches
Juicy, ripe peaches are brushed with butter and brown sugar, then baked until caramelized. A simple delight. This easy recipe is a wonderful way to enjoy summer peaches! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or with oatmeal, yogurt, or salads.
Yield: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches (they must be ripe, very soft to the touch)
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- vanilla ice cream for serving
- crushed salted, roasted pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut your ripe peaches in half vertically, rotating knife from top of peach. Twist halves apart, then remove pit.
- Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Place peaches cut side up in a baking pan and brush liberally with butter mixture. Flip peaches over and brush the skin side liberally. Use all of the melted butter mixture.
- Place pan into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then flip peaches over, and brush with any of the butter mixture that is in the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for another 15ish minutes, until peaches are caramelized and soft when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with ice cream and pistachios.
Notes
*You can store baked peaches in a closed container in the refrigerator for 5 days. They are great when sliced and chopped to be put on salads, flatbreads, pizza, or tossed into a smoothie!
