Caramelized Peaches Pan Fry (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
A pinch of salt
02 -
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
03 -
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar, add more if you like it sweeter
05 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 -
4 ripe peaches
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Bring them hot to the table, and pair with whatever you love—pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or just enjoy them on their own.
02 -
Flip all the peaches over gently and let them heat through for another couple of minutes till the other side softens.
03 -
Set the peaches with the fleshy side down in your pan. Let them sizzle for about 5–7 minutes so they go golden and a bit sticky.
04 -
In a shallow pan on medium, let your butter melt, then toss in the ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir so it all melts together.
05 -
Cut every peach down the middle from top to bottom. Pop the pit out.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Thicker peach pieces keep their shape better when frying, so avoid thin cuts.
02 -
Switch the peaches for sturdy fruits like apples, nectarines, or plums if you want something different.
03 -
Try coconut oil or non-dairy butter if you're keeping it vegan.
04 -
Sprinkle in nutmeg, a touch of cloves, or a splash of vanilla if you want more flavor.
05 -
No brown sugar? White sugar, honey, maple syrup, palm sugar, or even dark brown sugar will work.
06 -
Using salted butter? Ditch the extra salt.
07 -
Let the peaches brown for longer if you're after that hint of smoky, caramel taste.
