This Baked peaches are a simple yet elegant dessert that celebrates the natural sweetness of ripe, juicy peaches. When baked, the fruit becomes tender and caramelized, intensifying its flavor and aroma. Often topped with a warm mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats, baked peaches offer a comforting, home style treat that’s both wholesome and indulgent. They pair perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of honey, or a spoonful of creamy Greek yogurt. Whether served at a summer gathering or enjoyed as a cozy winter dessert, baked peaches are a delightful way to make the most of seasonal fruit with minimal effort.
