Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe peaches halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the peach halves in a single layer.
  2. Halve the peaches: Cut each peach in half and remove the pit, then arrange the halves cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Mix the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Spoon over peaches: Spoon the butter mixture evenly over each peach half, letting some pool in the center where the pit was.
  5. Add oats and pecans: Sprinkle the oats and chopped pecans over the top of each peach so they settle into the butter mixture.
  6. Bake until soft: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the peaches are soft and the juices bubble around the edges of the dish.
  7. Broil to brown: Switch the oven to broil and cook for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the topping turns golden brown.
  8. Serve warm: Let the peaches cool for a few minutes, then spoon the syrup from the pan over each half and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.
