Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches, then arrange them cut-side up in the prepared dish.
Make Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
- Spoon the prepared topping evenly into the hollows of each peach half. Pour water into the bottom of the baking dish.
Bake
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is bubbly and caramelized.
Serve
- Carefully remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
For the best flavor, choose ripe but firm peaches. A touch of ginger or nutmeg can also be added to the topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
