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
- Cut each peach in half, vertically, and remove the seed.
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Mix until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place the peaches cut side down in the pan.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cut side of the peaches turns brown and caramelized.
- Gently flip the peaches and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Serve hot with your choice of ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or any other dish you prefer.
Notes
- Other Fruits: You can substitute peaches with nectarines, apples, plums, bananas, or pineapples for a different twist.
- Sliced Peaches: Instead of cutting the peaches in half, you can slice them into wedges and sauté them in the butter mixture. Just ensure the slices aren’t too thin to avoid breaking.
- Sweeteners: If you prefer a different type of sweetness, try using maple syrup, honey, palm sugar, white sugar, or dark brown sugar instead of brown sugar.
- Vegan Version: For a vegan version, swap the butter for coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute.
- Spices: Experiment with other spices like nutmeg, cloves, or vanilla to add depth to the flavor.
