Baked peaches baked with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon are a simple dessert recipe perfect for serving with ice cream!
My local market had a special on peaches last week and I picked up a huge container. I love peaches in a borderline obsessive way. And while it’s hard to improve on the perfect sweetness of a ripe peach I dare you not to love these warm, syrupy caramelized topping on these baked peaches-especially topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
I love that this dessert take less than 5 minutes to prepare and can bake while you have dinner! It’s great for entertaining as well.
Looks great right?
How to pick a ripe peach
Perfectly ripe peaches will have a bright color, fresh smell, and have a slight give when you press on them with your finger.

FAQs
To cook these on the grill, wrap the peaches in foil instead of placing in the baking dish, then grill for about 10 minutes.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes.
While it is possible to freeze the peaches after baking, I don’t recommend it due to the extremely soft texture that results.
