Baked Peaches

Baked peaches are a simple yet elegant treat that showcases the natural sweetness of this fruit while adding a warm, comforting twist.

Ingredients

Scale:

4 ripe peaches (yellow or white, preferably organic)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream or yogurt, chopped nuts, honey or maple syrup, fresh mint leaves

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash the peaches under cold water, dry them, cut in half, remove the pit, and place cut-side up in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add unsalted butter (or coconut oil) and mix until crumbly.
Spoon the sugar-cinnamon mixture generously into the center of each peach half.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until peaches are tender and caramelizing.
Allow baked peaches to cool before serving warm, topped with optional vanilla ice cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
