Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 4 whole Freestone peaches cut in half, pit discarded
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13" baking dish.
- Cut the peaches along the natural crease around the pit, then twist each side gently to open the peach and discard the pit.
- Place the peaches cut-side-up in the baking dish. Top the peaches evenly with a piece of butter in the middle of the peach, and the pecans on top.
- Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Distribute the brown sugar mixture evenly on top of each peach, over the pecans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brown sugar caramelizes and a fork can go through the peaches easily. Remove from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes.
- Serve 1-2 pieces in each bowl and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Storage
Refrigerate leftover baked peaches for 3-4 days in an airtight container. I like to reheat them in the microwave or oven before adding ice cream.
Freeze for 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container.
Cooking Tips
- Make sure your peaches are ripe, but not too soft or they'll fall apart while baking.
- The peaches are done when they are fork-tender. If a fork doesn't slide through the peach easily, they need more time in the oven. This can depend on the size of your peaches, with larger peaches taking longer to cook.
- If your toppings start burning before the peaches are done, just top the baking dish with tinfoil carefully.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before topping with ice cream. They're hottest right from the oven, and it will melt the ice cream too quickly.
