Ingredients Overview

Ripe Peaches (4, halved and pitted): Choosing the right peaches is key to this dish. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch, indicating they are ripe and ready to be grilled. The natural sugars in the peaches caramelize beautifully on the grill, creating a delicious contrast between the sweet, juicy fruit and the smoky char from the grill.
Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoons, softened): Butter is the base of the cinnamon sugar topping, providing a rich and creamy texture that complements the peaches. Softening the butter ensures it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
Brown Sugar (1/4 cup): Brown sugar adds a deep, molasses-like sweetness that pairs perfectly with the natural flavors of the peaches. It also helps create that irresistible caramelized finish when melted over the warm peaches.
Ground Cinnamon (1 teaspoon): Cinnamon adds warmth and a hint of spice, making this dish feel comforting and familiar. It’s the perfect partner to the sweet peaches and buttery topping.
Pinch of Salt: A small pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
