Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and dry the peaches, cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice a small section from the rounded side to sit flat.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
  3. Add ¼ cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, stirring until a bubbly caramel glaze forms in 2-3 minutes.
  4. Place the peach halves cut-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gently flip the peaches and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until soft but intact.
  6. Serve warm, drizzled with the caramel glaze, topped with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
