Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chopped nuts or fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and halve the peaches, removing pits, then place cut side up in a baking dish.
- Mix honey or maple syrup with vanilla extract and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.
- Drizzle the cinnamon-sweetened honey mixture over each peach half, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the peaches are tender and slightly caramelized. For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped nuts or fresh mint if desired. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, and add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for extra freshness.
Notes
- Leftover baked peaches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in a low oven for best results.
- For a vegan and dairy-free option, use maple syrup as sweetness and omit whipped toppings.
