Method
 

Prep and season

  2. Brush the cut side of each peach half with melted butter so the topping clings and browns.
  3. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the peaches to create a fragrant, jammy crust.
Grill and serve

  2. Serve warm immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Pro tip: choose peaches that yield slightly when pressed so they soften without turning mushy on the grill. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container up to 2 days; rewarm briefly over medium heat or in a skillet just to loosen the caramel. Freezing is not recommended because the peaches can become mealy after thawing. For a dairy-free option, use olive oil instead of butter and serve with coconut-based vanilla ice cream.
