Print Recipe

These Cinnamon Sugar Baked Peach Slices are a quick and easy dessert that tastes like summer. Tender, jammy peaches with a caramelized cinnamon-sugar crust, ready in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • a tiny pinch of salt
  • Optional for serving: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt; fresh mint leaves or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the peaches. Cut each in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into 4-5 wedges, about ½-inch thick.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt until no lumps remain.
  4. Use a little of the melted butter to grease the bottom and sides of an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking dish.
  5. Arrange the peach slices in a single layer in the prepared dish.
  6. Drizzle the vanilla extract and remaining melted butter evenly over the peaches.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered peaches.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 15-18 minutes, until peaches are tender and juices are bubbling and syrupy. For deeper caramelization, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  10. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Don’t overcrowd the pan; use two dishes if doubling. For a deeper flavor, toast the cinnamon in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
