A warm and comforting dessert featuring juicy peaches baked with honey and topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches. Arrange them cut side up in your baking dish.
  3. Drizzle each peach half with about 1 tablespoon of honey, letting it pool slightly in the center.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt if using.
  6. Add the cold butter cubes and vanilla extract. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If too dry, add a tiny splash of cold water.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the peaches.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until peach juices are bubbly and topping is golden brown. Check at 20 minutes if oven runs hot.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to thicken juices and crisp topping.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for the streusel to achieve a crumbly texture. Rest peaches after baking to thicken juices and crisp topping. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and honey with maple syrup. Broil topping for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispness but watch closely to avoid burning.
