Ingredients:

  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted (approx. 900g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits.
  2. Lightly brush the cut side of each peach with lemon juice and arrange them cut-side up in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, packed brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until a smooth, gritty paste forms.
  4. Spoon equal amounts of the brown sugar mixture into the center of each peach half, pressing slightly to ensure it fills the cavity.
  5. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brown sugar has melted into a bubbling, mahogany-colored syrup and the fruit yields easily to a fork.
