- 4 fresh, ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or substitute your preferred oil)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of nutmeg
Wash and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pit (an easy way to do this is to run a paring knife all the way around the peach, then gently pull apart the two halves. Then use your fingers to remove the pit).
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and nutmeg to a large nonstick frying pan and place it on the stove set to medium heat.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form.
Add the peaches, cut side down, to the pan (you can use tongs to do this to avoid burning your fingers).
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the peaches are golden brown with some darker brown areas.
Flip the peaches and continue to cook the other side for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and enjoy.
- These caramelized peaches are delicious served at any temperature, so you can either serve them right away or save them for later.
- Enjoy these peaches on their own or use them as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
