Ingredients

• 4 whole fresh peaches
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• 1 cup whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the peaches thoroughly under cold running water. Slice each peach in half and remove the pits. If desired, cut the halves into quarters for smaller pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't burn.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth and bubbly.

Step 4

Gently place the peach halves or quarters into the skillet, flesh side down. Cook the peaches for 3-4 minutes on each side, spooning some of the caramelized sauce over the top as they cook.

Step 5

Once the peaches are tender and have taken on a golden caramelized color, remove them from the heat.

Step 6

Serve the warm peaches immediately, drizzled with any leftover sauce from the skillet. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
