Delicious Baked Peaches with a streusel topping, homemade caramel sauce, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s a quick dessert you can enjoy all Summer long with fresh peaches.
If you’re looking for more Summer desserts, I recommend Ice Cream Sandwiches, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Berry Cake, or Banana Pudding.
Nothing like Baked Peaches on a lazy summer day.
These Baked Peaches are what Summer dreams are made of! They’re one of my favorite healthier desserts, with a fresh peach topped with streusel, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with homemade caramel. Be sure to buy freestone peaches, so that pesky pit comes out easily!
How to make Baked Peaches:
Make Crumb Topping: In a small bowl add flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork into small pieces.
Bake: Peel peaches if you’d like, then slice in half and remove pit. Place peaches face-up in baking pan and sprinkle a big spoonful of crumb topping in the center. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until crumb topping is golden brown.
Serve: Top warm peaches with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Recipe Tips:
- The Peaches: I recommend freestone peaches instead of clingstone since the pit comes out easily when sliced in half. When you choose your peaches, look for some that are nicely colored red and yellow and smell sweet and peachy and has a slight give when you gently press on them. If so, they are ripe.
Make Ahead Instructions:
The crumb topping can be made a couple days ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge. The peaches can also be peeled and the caramel sauce can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge separately. Assemble and bake just before serving.
