Ingredients:
- 4 fresh, ripe peaches 🍑
- 3 tbsp butter, sliced 🧈
- 1/4 cup brown sugar 🟫
- 1 tsp cinnamon 🌟
Picking Fresh Peaches:
Peaches are at their peak during the summer months. When selecting peaches, opt for those with a vibrant color and without any green tints. The fruit should yield slightly under gentle pressure, indicating ripeness, and have a sweet, fragrant aroma.
Instructions:
- Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Place each peach half in a baking dish, and put a small slice of butter (about 3/4 teaspoon) in the hollow where the pit was. 🍑🧈
- Sprinkle: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Generously sprinkle this mixture over the peach halves, making sure each one is well-coated. 🌟🟫
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the peaches are golden and bubbly. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve the baked peaches with a dollop of cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. 🔥🍮
Grilled Version:
For a smoky twist, these peaches can also be grilled. Simply prepare the peaches as above, but instead of placing them in a baking dish, wrap them in foil. Grill over medium heat for 8 to 12 minutes until the peaches are caramelized and have a beautiful char. This method is perfect for outdoor BBQs and adds a unique flavor to the peaches. 🍑🔥

Picking Fresh Peaches
Peaches are in season during the summer, so it’s easy to find many that are ripe and juicy. When picking fresh peaches, look for ones that are vibrant in color (and no longer have a green tint). You want them to be soft to the touch, so make sure to press gently on the peach skin. If it starts to give a little, then it’s ready to enjoy. Ripe peaches will also have a fragrant smell.
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare: Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit. Place in a baking dish. Place a small piece (about 3/4 teaspoon) of butter in the middle of each peach. 🍑🧈
2️⃣ Sprinkle: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over each of the peach halves. 🌟🟫
3️⃣ Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the peaches for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden. Top with cream and caramel if desired. 🔥🍮
Grilled Version
These peaches also taste amazing when grilled. Simply prepare as directed, however, wrap in foil instead of placing in a pan. Place on the grill and cook for about 8 to 12 minutes until the tops are golden and caramelized. So easy and delicious! 🍑🔥
