Pan-fried peaches are the perfect quick and easy dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth. Ready in just 15 minutes, this delightful treat uses only six simple ingredients to create perfectly caramelized peaches bursting with flavor.
EQUIPMENT
- Pan or skillet with a flat base
- Knife
- Spatula or tongs
- Pastry brush
INGREDIENTS
- 4 fresh peaches
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- A pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice each peach in half vertically and remove the pit.
- Heat the butter in a pan until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until combined.
- Place the peaches cut side down in the pan.
- Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the cut side is browned and caramelized.
- Flip the peaches gently and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve warm with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or your favorite dish.
NOTES
- This recipe works well with other fruits like nectarines, apples, plums, bananas, or pineapples.
- For sliced peaches, cut them thicker to prevent breaking during cooking.
- For a smoky, lightly burnt flavor, extend the cooking time slightly.
- Customize the flavor with spices like nutmeg, cloves, or vanilla extract.
- Sweeteners such as maple syrup, honey, palm sugar, or white sugar can be substituted for brown sugar.
- Vegans can replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- A grill pan can be used instead of a skillet for a grilled effect.
- If using salted butter, skip the additional salt in the recipe.
