Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly butter a small baking dish that fits the peaches snugly.
Place the peach halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; sprinkle this mixture evenly over the peaches.
Dot each peach half with the cubes of butter, then drizzle with vanilla extract, lemon juice, and bourbon.
Top the peaches with the remaining brown sugar mixture evenly divided among them.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peaches are fork-tender and the tops are caramelized.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Using ripe but firm peaches will prevent them from becoming mushy during baking.
Feel free to substitute with other fruits like apples or nectarines for a twist.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
