Ingredients
  

peaches
  • 6 peaches ripe, halved and pitted
cinnamon brown sugar topping
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
serving
  • vanilla ice cream for serving
  • honey drizzle

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Prep the peaches
  1. Brush the peach halves with melted butter on all sides, so every surface looks lightly coated.
  2. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle generously over the cut side of the peaches.
Grill and caramelize
  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat and place the peaches cut-side down.
  2. Grill for 4-5 minutes until the cut side looks caramelized with dark grill marks.
  3. Flip the peaches and grill for another 3-4 minutes until tender and browned.
Serve
  1. Remove the grilled peaches and serve warm with vanilla ice cream, then drizzle with honey.

Notes

For the best caramelization, keep the grill at true medium heat so the sugar browns without burning. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; rewarm briefly on a grill pan or in a skillet. Freezing is not recommended because the peaches soften and the topping loses its texture. For a lower-sugar option, use a 1:1 brown sugar substitute (measure by volume) to keep the caramelized crust effect.
