Description

This delicious Pan Fried Peaches recipe brings out the natural sweetness of fresh peaches enhanced by a buttery, spiced caramelized glaze. Perfectly browned on each side, these peaches can be enjoyed alone or paired with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or other dishes for a warm, flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Peaches

  • 4 fresh peaches

Butter and Sweeteners

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)

Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peaches: Cut each peach in half vertically and carefully remove the seed to prepare them for frying.
  2. Make Butter Mixture: Melt the unsalted butter in a frying pan over medium heat, then add brown sugar, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture to combine and dissolve the sugar.
  3. Cook Peaches (First Side): Place the peach halves cut side down into the butter and sugar mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until the peaches develop a browned and caramelized surface.
  4. Cook Peaches (Second Side): Gently turn the peaches over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes to warm through and lightly caramelize.
  5. Serve: Remove peaches from the pan and serve hot. They pair wonderfully with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or other complementary dishes.

Notes

  • You can substitute peaches with other fruits such as nectarines, apples, plums, bananas, or pineapples for a similar pan-fried treat.
  • Instead of halving, slice the peaches but avoid very thin slices to prevent breakage during sautéing.
  • Increase cooking time to achieve darker caramelized patches and a mild smoky burnt flavor if desired.
  • Additional flavorings such as nutmeg, cloves, or vanilla can be added to the butter mixture for variety.
  • Alternate sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, palm sugar, white sugar, or dark brown sugar can be used instead of brown sugar.
  • Vegans can use coconut oil or vegan butter as a substitute for dairy butter.
  • A grill pan can be used in place of a regular frying pan to make grilled peaches.
  • If using salted butter, omit the added salt in the recipe.
