Ingredients

Scale

Peaches

  • 4 large ripe peaches

Spice and Sugar Topping

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

Additional

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Peaches: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Arrange the peach halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet or pan to prepare for baking.
  2. Add Butter: Place a small piece of butter in the center of each peach half. This will melt during baking, adding rich flavor and moisture.
  3. Mix and Sprinkle Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Sprinkle this spice and sugar blend evenly over the peach halves to create a sweet and aromatic topping.
  4. Bake the Peaches: Bake the peaches in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are tender and have developed a golden caramelized appearance. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Remove the baked peaches from the oven and serve them warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.

Notes

  • Ensure peaches are ripe for the best sweetness and tenderness.
  • You can substitute spices according to preference – for example, allspice instead of nutmeg.
  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter and dairy-free ice cream.
  • Baking time may vary slightly depending on peach size and oven accuracy; check for tenderness before removing.
  • This dessert can be served with whipped cream or mascarpone as an alternative to ice cream.
