Baked Peach Recipe

We happen to have the best neighbor. You see, he has this huge peach tree and every summer he gifts up a large bag of fresh, homegrown peaches.

This works out well for my husband, as peaches happen to be his favorite fruit. And even though he eats keto the majority of the year, peaches are one of his few weaknesses. Whether he is eating them fresh from the bag or we are in the kitchen creating a dish, he will make room for this orange fruit.

Learn how to make baked peaches or roasted peaches, topped with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon- we guarantee it'll become a new summer favorite! We have tried them topped with granola and almond slices, but there is something about the simplicity of peaches, butter, and brown sugar. It caramelizes in the oven and reminds us of a classic peach pie - only much faster to make.

Ingredient Notes

Fresh peaches are the only way to go when it comes to making this baked peaches recipe. In order to have your roasted peaches dessert come out of the oven looking like a pan full of fruity goodness, you will need to start with intact peaches that you can half and pit yourself, leaving the skin on.

• peaches - cut the peaches in half with the pit removed, keep the skin on
• salted butter
• dark brown sugar - light can also be used, as can coconut sugar, honey, maple syrupe or low carb substitutes.
• Sprinkle with ground cinnamon
• optional toppings - whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, drizzle of fresh cream, caramel sauce, granola

Diet Adaptions

• Low-Carb - To make a low-carb baked peaches dessert use either golden monkfruit or brown erythritol in place of the brown sugar. Top with this keto whipped cream and voila – low-carb baked peaches! 🙂
• Dairy-Free or Vegan - Use an approved butter substitute.

How to Roast Peaches - Step by Step

This roasted peaches recipe may look impressive and possibly intimidating, but I promise you it isn't! You will be amazed at how quick and easy this crowd-pleasing dessert comes together.

Prep

To begin, preheat oven to 375F and make sure the oven rack is in the center of the oven.

Wash and dry the peaches, then cut the peaches in half to remove the pits. 

***Note: You do need to keep the outer peel on the peaches for baking. While typically for a peach pie you'd want to peel the peaches before baking, when you're making baked peaches, you keep the peel on. Why you might wonder? It helps to keep the peach half shape as the peaches break down with baking. Without the peel to help keep the fruit intact, you'd just end up with blobs of cooked peaches!

Assemble

Place the 8 peach halves in a baking dish.

Top each peach half with ½ teaspoon salted butter and 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar.

Sprinkle the peaches with ground cinnamon. 

Bake

Bake your prepared peaches at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until the inside of the peach can be easily pierced with a fork. The timing will vary based on how ripe your peaches are.

Serve the baked peaches warm as-is or with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream. Caramel sauce and granola also make a great addition!

Recipe Tips

• Be sure you are working with fresh, ripe peaches. Not too firm, not too soft.
• Wash and dry them but make sure you leave the skin on the peach halves.
• Experiment with additional baking toppings such as rolled oats or almond slices.
• If serving your baked peaches a group be sure to offer a variety of additional toppings such as whipped cream, caramel sauce, additional cinnamon, roasted almonds, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
