Ingredients

For the peaches:

  • 5 ripe peaches  peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional

For the cream:

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar more or less according to taste

Instructions

  • Add the peaches, butter, sugars, and cinnamon to a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes. The peaches will soften slightly, and the butter and sugar will make a sauce that coats the peaches.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool while you make the whipped cream or to serve cold, chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a mixer or food processor, beat the cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Spoon the peaches and sauce into bowls and serve topped with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Look for peaches that aren’t too ripe. Very ripe peaches will get too soft as they cook and become mushy.
  • I made the whipped cream from scratch, but store-bought will work if you’re short on time.
