Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 3 large ripe peaches
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) salted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) light brown sugar
Spices:
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) ground cinnamon
Serving Options:
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a toasty 375°F (190°C), ensuring a lightly greased oven-safe pan prevents any sticky situations.
- Delicately halve each peach, extracting the pits with precision. Arrange the peach halves facing upward in the prepared vessel.
- Nestle a petite morsel of salted butter into the center of each peach half, allowing it to melt luxuriously and infuse rich flavor.
- Craft a tantalizing blend by thoroughly combining light brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously dust the peach halves with the aromatic sugar-cinnamon mixture, creating a promise of caramelized decadence.
- Slide the pan into the heated oven, transforming the peaches for 10 to 13 minutes until they develop a golden hue and tender consistency. Gently test their readiness by applying slight pressure with a fork.
- Present the warm peaches as a divine dessert, crowned with a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream or a billowing cloud of whipped cream. For an extra touch of indulgence, cascade a drizzle of caramel sauce over the glistening fruit.
Notes
- Butter melts into each peach half, creating a rich and indulgent base that transforms simple fruit into a decadent dessert.
- Cinnamon sugar caramelizes during baking, developing a golden-brown crust that adds delightful crunch and warmth to the tender peaches.
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream provides a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, sweet-spiced baked fruit.
