Baked Peaches

These baked peaches smell like fall in the summer! The cinnamon and sugar glaze gives a caramelized sweetness in every bite. If you want to take this subtly sweet dessert in a more savory direction, skip the ice cream topping and serve the peaches with a sprig of thyme instead, or sprinkle granola over the baked peaches for a texture similar to streusel.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 small fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • vanilla ice cream or strained (greek-style) yogurt for serving (optional)
