Ingredients

  • 2-3 peaches Note 1
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar light or dark
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Slice the peaches into thin slices.
  • In the skillet, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Sprinkle in cinnamon and cook until the mixture is bubbly.
  • Add the sliced peaches and cook for about 2 minutes. Once the juices start to release, increase the heat to medium high and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes.
  • Grate in fresh nutmeg and cook for another minute. Then remove from heat and cool slightly. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Note 1: It’s best if the peaches are semi-ripe, because they’re easy to handle. Too ripe peaches are too soft and turns mushy. It’s up to you whether you want them peeled. I don’t mind the peel, so I don’t peel the peaches.
Storing Tips:
- Store caramelized peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments or in a skillet over medium heat until warm throughout.
