Print Recipe

A simple and cozy dessert featuring baked peaches caramelized with honey and cinnamon, served with creamy Greek yogurt. Perfect for a quick, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup full-fat creamy Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully halve and pit 4 ripe peaches.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine peach halves with 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Place peach halves cut side up in a baking dish.
  5. Scatter 2 tablespoons of small butter pieces evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until peaches are tender but hold their shape and honey bubbles and caramelizes slightly.
  7. Let peaches rest for 5 minutes after baking.
  8. Serve warm with a generous dollop of creamy Greek yogurt on the side or on top.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Fresh lemon juice prevents browning and balances sweetness. Watch baking time closely to keep peaches tender but intact. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt. Optional toppings include toasted nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh mint.
