A quick and easy baked peach dessert featuring a warm cinnamon sugar crust, perfect for cozy evenings and simple celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chopped toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and halve 4 large ripe peaches, removing the pits. Cut larger peaches into quarters for even baking.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Stir to blend evenly.
  4. Lightly brush each peach half with 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  5. Gently roll the buttered peach halves in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.
  6. Place the coated peach halves cut-side up in an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  7. Drizzle 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract evenly over the peaches.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until peaches are tender but hold their shape and sugar is bubbling and slightly crisp.
  9. Check doneness by inserting a fork or skewer; it should slide in with slight resistance but not mushy.
  10. Let peaches rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow syrup to thicken.

Notes

If sugar browns too fast, tent the baking dish with foil after 15 minutes to prevent burning. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Butter helps create a crispy sugar crust; for dairy-free, substitute with coconut oil. Let peaches rest after baking to thicken syrup and enhance flavor.
