Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons honey (plus more for serving, if you like)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but lovely)
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, or granola

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish that fits all the peach halves snugly.
  2. Prepare the peaches: Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. If the pits are stubborn, use a spoon to gently pry them out.
  3. Mix the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Arrange and coat: Place peach halves cut-side up in the baking dish. Spoon the honey-cinnamon mixture over each peach, letting some drip into the cavities.
  5. Add butter: Dot each peach half with a small piece of butter to help create a silky sauce.
  6. Bake: Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender when pierced with a knife and the juices are bubbling.
  7. Broil for a blush (optional): For caramelized tops, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Serve: Spoon the pan juices over the peaches. Add ice cream, yogurt, or your favorite topping, and finish with a light drizzle of honey if desired.
