I have been waiting for the summer moment: peach season. The warm and vibrant colours wrapped around a sweet interior. It’s a fruit that perfectly encapsulates the best parts of summer: the colours of the season, the toasty feeling of being blanketed by the sun, the nostalgic sound of cicadas, and the brush of a cool breeze by the beach. This recipe celebrates peach season, where the simplicity of this dish enhances the fruit itself, allowing its flavours and sweetness to shine through.
Tools:
Baking sheet pan
Ingredients:
Peaches
Granola clusters
Brown sugar (preferably, coconut or demerara sugar)
1 tbsp of Greek yogurt
½ tsp of cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Wash your peaches thoroughly. Once cleaned, cut the peaches in half and remove the pit.
Sprinkle small amounts of brown sugar on top of the peach, then place the peaches onto a sheet pan with the sliced side facing up, and bake them for 20-30 minutes or until the peaches are fork-tender. While waiting for the peaches to bake, prepare the yogurt drizzle by mixing together the Greek yogurt and cinnamon. Once the peaches are done, place the granola clusters into the pit as if the peach is a bowl and drizzle the yogurt mixture onto the peach. These baked peaches can be stored in the fridge for up to seven days.
I know I always claim that each recipe I’ve made throughout the summer is the perfect summer recipe, however, I truly feel like this recipe is the perfect summer recipe (but don’t count on me to never make that claim again on my upcoming recipes). I hope you embrace the beautiful weather outside, and get a chance to make this recipe and enjoy! (and stay hydrated!)
