Baked peaches with cinnamon and crumble

This dessert is ideal for almost any time of the year and any occasion. Whether satisfying a sweet craving after dinner or impressing guests at a family gathering, baked peaches have a significant advantage – you don’t have to worry if they are not perfectly ripe. In the oven, they become delicate and sweet and melt in your mouth. It’s worth adding a scoop of your favourite vanilla or cream ice cream for even more indulgence.

In this recipe, the heart of the peach is not the pit but a delicious cinnamon paste made with butter and a hint of vanilla. This simple addition elevates an ordinary peach into a delightfully sophisticated dessert.

Ingredients:

• 3 peaches,
• olive oil for drizzling, 

Cinnamon Paste: 

• 2 tablespoons soft butter,
• 4 tablespoons sugar,
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 

Crumble: 

• 7 tablespoons melted butter,
• 1 cup all-purpose flour,
• 1/2 cup sugar.

Garnish: 

• cream ice cream,
• mint leaf.

Preparation

Step 1. Start by preparing the crumble. Sift the all-purpose flour into a bowl, add the sugar, and pour in the melted and cooled butter. Knead the crumble and place it in the refrigerator.

Step 2. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Arrange the fruit in a heat-resistant dish, cut side up, and drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven preheated to 175°C for 10 minutes.

Step 3. Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon paste. Add the soft butter, sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix well.

Step 4. Add the cinnamon paste to the baked peaches. Sprinkle the previously prepared crumble over the top and place back in the oven, this time for 15 more minutes.

Step 5. Serve the baked peaches with a scoop of ice cream. You can also add a mint leaf and some chocolate sauce for decoration. Enjoy!
