Ingredients
Scale
Peaches
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
Cooking Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it starts to sizzle, creating a flavorful base for the peaches.
- Cook the Peaches: Add the peach slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing them to soften and begin to caramelize beautifully.
- Add Sweetness: Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt evenly over the peaches, then stir gently to coat all slices in the aromatic sugar mixture.
- Flavor Boost: Drizzle the vanilla extract over the peaches and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the peaches turn golden and the sauce thickens nicely.
- Serve: Serve the warm fried peaches immediately on top of pancakes, waffles, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious Southern-style dessert or breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy results.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground cloves or ginger.
- Can be made vegan by substituting butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Adjust brown sugar to taste for lower sweetness.
- Serve fresh and warm for the best flavor and texture.
