Baked Nectarines Or Peaches Recipes

BAKED PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x9-inch or similarly sized baking dish that's large enough to hold the peach halves in a single layer with nonstick spray. Pick a dish that's sized to where your peaches fit comfortably side by side, but there isn't too much excess room around them. Arrange peaches cut-side up in the dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, maple syrup, brandy, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Spoon the mixture over the peaches, filling the center and letting it run over the sides.
• Bake peaches, uncovered, until the peaches are cooked through and fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or a pour of heavy cream, as desired.

BAKED NECTARINES (OR PEACHES)

Steps:

• Cut up nectarines into bite sized pieces. (Figure about 1-1/2 nectarines per person.).
• Place in bottom of baking dish.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar (I usually use no more than a tablespoon per nectarine) and cinnamon (as much as you want).
• Then crush graham crackers over the top, about one whole graham cracker per nectarine.
• Then, randomly place small pads of butter over the top -- you don't need much, but it keeps the top moist.
• Then, bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until desired softness.
• Let it cool for a little bit, then scoop over ice cream.
• You can use peaches instead of nectarines if you can't find them, but I have found that nectarines turn out sweeter and juicier.
