Baked Peaches are so good!

I really only make baked peaches in the summer, and it’s almost always because I got carried away at the farmers’ market. They look so good when I bring them home, but give it a couple days and no one in the house is touching them. That’s usually when I cut them in half, toss with butter and honey, and bake in the oven. By the time they come out caramelized and bubbling, those “forgotten” peaches turn into the dessert everyone’s fighting over.

Happy Cooking!

Baked Peaches Ingredients

Ingredients for recipe: bowl of freestone peaches, butter, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  • Peaches: Choose ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape in the oven. If they’re too soft, they’ll collapse into mush. Leave the skin on; it helps them bake without falling apart.
  • Butter: Melt the butter and let it cool a little before whisking it with the honey and spices.
  • Honey: You can swap with maple syrup if that’s what you have.
  • Vanilla extract: Use a good-quality pure vanilla extract.
  • Cinnamon + ginger: A little ground ginger mixed with cinnamon.
  • Salt: Just a pinch.
  • Toppings: Optional, but always yummy! Vanilla Ice Cream, Homemade Whipped Cream with Granola.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ripe but firm peaches halved and pitted (skin on)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In an 8×11-inch baking dish, whisk together melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
  • Add the peach halves to the dish and turn them around to coat with the butter mixture. Turn the peach halves cut side up and use a spoon to add some of the sauce inside the peach crevices. They will be tight in the dish, but that’s fine.
  • Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes, until the peaches are fork-tender and starting to caramelize around the edges.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Equipment

Notes

Storage: Let the peaches cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just know they’ll soften more as they sit, so the texture won’t be quite as firm as when they’re fresh out of the oven. To reheat, place them in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and warm at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave them for 30–60 seconds, but they’ll be softer this way.

FAQs

How do I store and reheat baked peaches?

Let the peaches cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just know they’ll soften more as they sit, so the texture won’t be quite as firm as when they’re fresh out of the oven.

You can also microwave them for 30–60 seconds, but they’ll be softer this way.

Can I freeze baked peaches?

I don’t recommend freezing them. The peaches will turn mushy once thawed, and you’ll lose that caramelized texture that makes them so good.
