Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash, peel, and cut peaches into halves. Remove pits.
- Arrange peaches in a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Combine honey, lemon juice, and water in a bowl.
- Pour the honey mixture over the peaches.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until peaches are tender.
- Serve warm or cold with heavy cream poured over.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper flavor. Ensure the peaches are ripe for the best sweetness and texture. If peaches are out of season, canned peaches can work, but reduce baking time. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. This dessert pairs beautifully with Chewy Chocolate Macaroons(Yields 8 Dozen) for a delightful summer spread.
