Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs fresh peaches, sliced into 1-inch wedges
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

  1. Slice the peaches into uniform wedges and pat the slices dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear rather than steam.
  2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the butter has browned and the sugar dissolves into a bubbling syrup.
  3. Spread the peach wedges in a single layer in the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a mahogany-colored crust, then gently flip and cook for another 3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract, tossing the peaches for 30 seconds to coat in the glaze.
  5. Immediately scoop a ball of vanilla ice cream into a bowl and spoon the sizzling peaches and syrup directly over the top.
