A quick and simple one-pan recipe that captures the warm, cozy flavors of cinnamon and brown sugar roasted peaches, perfect for freezing and quick desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice 4 to 5 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges. To peel easily, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine peach slices with cinnamon, brown sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread peach slices in a single layer without overlapping.
  5. Roast peaches in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  6. Let peaches cool on the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to airtight containers or freezer bags and freeze flat.
  7. When ready to use, thaw in the fridge overnight or warm gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or neutral oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure peaches roast instead of steam. Freeze peaches flat to prevent clumping. Fresh cinnamon is preferred for best flavor. Peaches can be thawed gently in a skillet to keep texture intact.
