Quick and delicious pan-fried peaches caramelized with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Ready in just 15 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh peaches
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Note: For vegan variation substitute with coconut oil or plant-based butter.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Peaches

  • Wash and dry your peaches. Cut each peach in half vertically and remove the pit. You can leave the skin on for texture or peel them if you prefer a smoother result.

Pro Tip: Use peaches that are ripe but still firm—they’ll hold their shape better during cooking.

    Step 2: Make the Spiced Butter Base

    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of salt.
    • Allow the sugar to dissolve and the mixture to become fragrant, about 1 minute.

    Step 3: Cook the Peaches

    • Place the peach halves in the skillet, cut side down. Let them cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, or until the surface is deeply caramelized and golden.
    • Gently flip the peaches and cook the skin side for another 2–3 minutes until slightly softened and glossy.

    Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

    • Transfer the warm, buttery peaches to serving plates. Spoon some of the spiced sauce from the skillet over the top.
    • Enjoy them as-is or pair with:
    • A scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream
    • A dollop of Greek yogurt
    • On top of pancakes or waffles
    • Alongside a slice of pound cake
    • As a side to grilled pork or chicken for a sweet-savory combo
