Ingredients
Peaches
- 2 yellow peaches
- Olive oil spray
- Salt, a few shakes
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Butter
- 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar (24g), divided
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened (28g)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
To Serve
- Vanilla bean ice cream
- Crunchy granola
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Cut the peaches in half and discard the cores. Spray or brush the peaches all over with olive oil. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of brown sugar and a few shakes of salt onto the cut sides of the peaches.
- Preheat and Cook: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the peaches cut side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes to begin caramelizing the fruit.
- Make Cinnamon Butter: While the peaches cook, combine the remaining brown sugar, softened butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Flip and Add Topping: After the initial 5 minutes, flip the peaches so the cut side faces up. Spread the cinnamon brown sugar butter generously over the peach halves.
- Finish Cooking: Return the peaches to the air fryer and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the butter topping is caramelized and bubbly to your liking.
- Serve: Serve the warm peaches topped with vanilla bean ice cream, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from becoming too mushy during cooking.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast the peaches in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free ice cream.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar according to your taste preference.
