Ingredients

Fruits

  • 4 large ripe peaches

Toppings & Spices

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of cloves
  • Pinch of salt

Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the peaches to tender perfection.
  2. Prepare peaches: Slice each of the 4 large ripe peaches in half and remove the pits carefully. Arrange the peach halves face up on a large baking sheet or pan to ensure even cooking and ease of serving.
  3. Add butter: Place a small piece of butter in the center of each peach half to add richness and help create a luscious, caramelized topping during baking.
  4. Mix spices and sugar: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of cloves, and a pinch of salt. This mixture brings warm, aromatic flavors to complement the peaches.
  5. Sprinkle topping: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and spice mixture over all peach halves, ensuring each piece gets a good coating for maximum flavor.
  6. Bake peaches: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the peaches for 8 to 12 minutes until they become tender and golden. The sugar will caramelize slightly, enhancing the natural sweetness.
  7. Serve: Remove the peaches from the oven and serve warm, topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of hot and cold.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to hold their shape during baking.
  • Baking times may vary depending on the size and ripeness of the peaches; watch closely after 8 minutes.
  • You can substitute the vanilla ice cream with whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices such as ginger or allspice for variations in flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free ice cream.
