Ingredients

• 2 whole Peaches
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Granola or chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
• 0 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits.

Step 2

Place the peach halves cut-side up in a microwave-safe dish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.

Step 4

Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the center of each peach half.

Step 5

Drizzle a small amount (about 1/8 teaspoon) of vanilla extract onto each peach half.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut sides of the peaches.

Step 7

Cover the microwave-safe dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (leave a small vent for steam to escape).

Step 8

Microwave the peaches on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and heated through. Start checking at the 3-minute mark to avoid overcooking.

Step 9

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let the peaches cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Optionally, top the peaches with granola or chopped nuts for added crunch.

Step 11

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
