Warm Peach Casserole
Warm peach casserole features tender peach slices infused with cinnamon and cloves, offering a comforting sweet treat perfect for cozy gatherings or a simple dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the peach slices, juice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a slow oven set at 300° to 325° F.
- Heat the mixture for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the peaches to warm through.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks before serving, and serve in small dishes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added depth, consider using fresh peaches when in season; just peel and slice them instead of canned. You can also substitute the whole cloves with ground cloves—use 1/4 tsp. for a more intense flavor. If you're short on time, warming the mixture in a stovetop pot instead of the oven works well, just stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm peach casserole as a delightful dessert, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with savory dishes like Bean Broccoli Casserole, making it a great side for a family meal. For a refreshing drink, consider serving with a glass of Orange Punch For 200 to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the casserole in the oven at 300°F for about 15 minutes, or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until heated through. Avoid refrigerating for too long to maintain the peach's texture.
