Cinnamon Honey Baked Peaches – My Home Made Recipe

Peach halves soften in their own honeyed juices while a small oat crumble browns on top. A shallow dish keeps the fruit snug and makes it easy to serve two halves together.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe but firm peaches
• 40 g rolled oats
• 30 g plain flour
• 30 g softened butter
• 30 g brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Method

1. Heat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Halve the peaches and remove the stones, keeping the halves intact. Place cut-side up in a snug shallow baking dish.
2. Mix oats, flour, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon with your fingertips until the mixture forms small moist crumbs.
3. Drizzle the honey over the peach halves, sharing it evenly. Divide the oat mixture between the eight centers and spread it slightly over the cut surfaces.
4. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the peaches are tender when pierced and the topping is golden. Firmer peaches may need a few extra minutes; cover loosely if the oats brown early.
5. Rest for five minutes so the fruit juices stop bubbling. Spoon any honeyed juices from the dish over the fruit, keeping the crisp topping mostly dry.
6. Serve two peach halves per person, warm and plain. The halves should remain intact but cut easily with a spoon.
7. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven until hot throughout; the fruit will soften further.

Choose firm ripe fruit

Very soft peaches may collapse before the topping browns. Ripe but firm fruit keeps a tidy shape.

Keep the crumbs loose

Rub the topping just until small crumbs form. A dense paste will bake less evenly.

Watch the edges

Fruit ripeness changes the baking time. Check tenderness as well as the color of the oat topping.
