Description
Transform fresh peaches into a warm, buttery, spiced treat in under 15 minutes. Caramelized with a golden-brown coating, these flavorful peaches are perfect served over ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes.
Ingredients
4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (use vegan butter for dairy-free)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste; coconut sugar works)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (substitute with nutmeg if preferred)
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (use fresh grated ginger for stronger flavor)
A pinch salt (enhances sweetness and balances spices)
Instructions
Cut each peach into half vertically, running the knife along the natural seam
Remove the pit by twisting the halves apart and gently scooping it out
Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, and salt to the pan
Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce becomes smooth
Place the peach halves cut-side down into the pan with the sauce
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes without moving them until deeply browned and caramelized
Gently flip each peach and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the other side is browned
Serve warm over ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
For a nutty flavor, sprinkle toasted almonds or pecans over the finished peaches.
Cooled leftover peaches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Adjust spices to taste: add cardamom or nutmeg for variety.
Substitute agave syrup for a liquid sweetener if desired.
