1

Start by choosing the right peaches to make this dessert. The peaches should be vibrant in color with skin free of any blemishes. Prefer getting freestone (cling-free) peaches to clingstone peaches as the pit is easy to remove in freestone peaches.

2

To check if the peaches are perfectly ripe and juicy, press them gently. They should give a little. Do not press too hard otherwise they will get bruised from inside. Ripe peaches should also smell fragrant and peachy.

3

Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees F. Slice the peaches in half using a paring knife and remove the pit. No need to peel the skin.

4

Discard the pit.

5

Arrange the halves on a baking tray with the cut side up. Choose a tray in which the halves fit perfectly. I like to serve them in the same tray in which I bake them. So choose the tray accordingly. I have used 3 peaches here but you can half or double the recipe easily.

6

Cut 2 tbsp butter into 6 equal pieces. Keep a piece of butter over each half.

7

Mix 2 tbsp brown sugar and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.

8

Sprinkle this mixture over the peaches evenly. If using alcohol like bourbon, rum or brandy, pour a tsp of it over each peach half at this stage.

9

Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 18-20 mins until peaches are golden brown from the top. Remove the tray from the oven. Transfer the baked peaches to the serving plates using a flat serving spatula. Drizzle some of the juice from the tray over them. Top with your favorite topping and serve warm.
