This Easy Baked Peaches recipe highlights juicy ripe peaches enhanced with a sweet, spiced maple syrup glaze. Baked to tender perfection, these peaches are an effortless and comforting dessert, ideal for serving warm alongside vanilla ice cream or creamy Greek yogurt for a deliciously simple treat.

Ingredients

Peaches

  • 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

Glaze

  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Arrange peaches: Place the halved and pitted peaches skin-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
  3. Mix glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together pure maple syrup, melted unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour glaze over peaches: Evenly pour the maple syrup mixture over the peaches, ensuring each piece is coated with the flavorful glaze.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the peaches are fork-tender and the glaze is bubbling and slightly thickened.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm baked peaches with vanilla bean ice cream or vanilla Greek yogurt and an additional drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey if desired.
  • For a nuttier flavor, add chopped toasted pecans or almonds before baking.
  • Adjust cinnamon to taste, or omit if you prefer a milder spice.
  • Peaches should be ripe but firm to hold their shape during baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
