Baked peaches with brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Tastes like a homemade peach pie – without all the work and calories!
Baked Peaches
There is nothing better than a juicy peach on a hot Summer day! I love buying a big box of fresh peaches this time of year. My family loves to snack on them all Summer long. Another favorite is using them in all of our Summer desserts. One of our favorite ways to make them is to bake them with cinnamon sugar. It creates a delicious caramelized top that is out of this world. If you love peaches and cream, you are going to love this dessert. These baked peaches are so simple to make and taste so delicious!
How to make baked peaches
These baked peaches are so easy to make (5 minute prep) and taste amazing! They also taste amazing when grilled. So good! I love to top my baked peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzled on top for the ultimate treat!
- Slice peaches in half and remove the pit. Place in a oven safe pan. Place a small piece(about 3/4 teaspoon) of butter in the middle of each peach.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Then sprinkle over the peach.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Top with cream and caramel if desired.

These look pretty delicious! I’ve never had baked peaches, although they’re probably kind of like peach cobbler but gluten-free and MUCH easier. Right? ;)
Healthier and easier! ;) Hope you enjoy these Cheyanne!
These are making my mouth water! They look incredible!!
Is it wrong that I want to eat these for breakfast? What an awesome summertime dessert!
So simple but oh so good … You have inspired me to go and bake some stone fruit! Can’t wait to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.
Frozen Cool Whip tastes just like ice cream! Think I’ll try this with a scoop of frozen Cool Whip. Yum!
A tip: Slice a small piece of peach from the bottom of each half. This keeps the half upright.
That’s a great tip, Diana!
Tried them last night, YUM! Used a muffin tin and added just a sprinkle it nutmeg.
This will be a new summer fav, thank you!!
I’m so glad you liked them! Glad you found a new treat to enjoy this summer!
Do you eat the peach peel, or remove it before serving?
I eat the peach peel! You are welcome to remove it if you don’t like it though. :)
How do I get the seed out without destroying tbe peach? I really wanted to di tbis.
Hi Rochelle! If the peach is ready to eat, the pit should come out pretty easily if you cut it in half first. :)
I made these last night and had them with ice cream. They were so yummy! This morning I warmed up one of the leftover peaches, put vanilla yogurt and granola on top with a little caramel sauce. It was very delicious!
YUM! I’ll have to try the breakfast version next time I make these, thanks for sharing!
Make sure you use freestone peaches and not cling. It is very hard to get the pit out of cling peaches. My husband bought cling peaches.
Great tip! Thanks!
We made this for dessert tonight and we will probably end up making it again tomorrow! My 5 year old said it was ‘the best thing he’s ever ever eaten!’
I’m so glad you loved it! Peaches are so delicious right now. It’s the perfect summer treat!
My husband and I love this with ice cream. One of our new favourites with fresh B.C. Peaches.
My favorite treat!
what a fun summer recipe, thank you, and a perfect serving size too
I just picked my peaches. Gotta try this tonight.
Hope you enjoy! :)
Sounds delicious. Would it work on the microwave? It’s 101 outside. I hate to turn yhe obrn on.
I’ve never tried it in the microwave so I’m not sure! If you have a grill, they are delicious grilled. :)
Just made these! So delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed these! :)
What if you don’t have brown sugar can you just use the cinnamon by itself? I’m pregnant and trying to watch my health would it be OK to just use only cinnamon? And my first time trying this…
There definitely won’t be much of a glaze if you don’t use the brown sugar, but it would probably still work! :)
I am a diabetic and I will try this with 1/2 the amount of sugar! Sounds yummy!
Hope you enjoy! :)
Very good.
Loved it because the peach was the main ingredient. Most Peach recipes are 90% dough and 10% peach.
I’m so glad you enjoyed these! :)
Omg! These were DELICIOUS!!! ?
Omg, these were DELICIOUS! ?
This was amazing! My entire family gobbled it up! So good! ??
I’m so glad it was a hit! :)
At what temperature? Not noted in recipe. Thanks.
375 degrees. :)
Tried these this morning for breakfas t. Am diabetic so worried about the brown sugar, just recently diagnosed and a newbie at cooking differently. Only used 1 peach cut in half. Used the amount of cinnamon called for and only 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. Served with a spoon of plain greek yogurt with a few walnuts sprinkled on. WOW! My husband and I were in culinary heaven! Scrambled eggs and turkey bacon completed the meal. 2 hours later my blood glucose was 94….great reading for me! We used Colorado peaches from a local produce stand. Thank you for this recipe!
Sounds delicious Teresa! I’m so glad you enjoyed these! :)
I’ve got a box of peaches and want to freeze a bunch. Do you think I could freeze peach halves and then pull out a frozen peach and cook it from frozen?
Honestly I’m not sure how it would turn out! I would definitely give it a try with a peach or 2! :)
