Ingredients
  

For the Peaches
  • 4 peaches Fresh Peaches Can be swapped with nectarines for a firmer texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Use coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Dark brown sugar can offer a richer flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Try ground cloves for a unique twist.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Lime juice can be a great substitution.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt Feel free to use sea salt instead.
For Serving
  • 4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream Greek yogurt or mascarpone make for healthier options.

Equipment

  • 12-inch non-stick skillet
  • small bowl
  • Spatula
  • paper towels

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and slicing fresh peaches in half, removing the pits. Pat the peach wedges dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear beautifully in the pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together light brown sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Place a 12-inch non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add unsalted butter and allow it to melt until foamy.
  4. Carefully add the peach slices to the hot skillet in a single layer, cooking undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Gently flip the peaches using a spatula, then continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  6. Once the peaches are caramelized, stir in a splash of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of kosher salt.
  7. Allow the mixture to cook for about 1 minute longer to let the sauce thicken slightly.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and place generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into serving bowls, topping each with the hot peaches and sauce.
