Fresh peaches are brushed with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and grilled until tender. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving! If you’re in the mood for a quick (and healthy) dessert, this is a perfect choice!
Ingredients for Grilled Peaches
Peaches – Choose fresh ripe peaches for the best results. If possible, look for freestone peaches because this means the pit can easily be removed. Clingstone peaches are delicious but the pit is harder to remove (see notes on removing the pit below). Apricots, plums, or nectarines can be grilled too! Sugar – We simply top these with a bit of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The sugar adds sweetness and helps with caramelization to glaze the peaches.
Variations
Any sweetener will do (like honey or white sugar) and any warm spices can be added. Try a bit of ginger or apple pie spice. Chopped and toasted pecans or walnuts or even a sprinkle of granola will give your grilled peaches a little bit of a crunch. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or even an air fryer. Whipped cream or even vanilla yogurt makes a sweet and creamy sauce as it melts over grilled peaches. Put them in a bowl with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg over the top!
