Ingredients

• 4 whole peaches or nectarines
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). If using a grill pan indoors, heat it on your stovetop over medium heat.

Step 2

Rinse the peaches or nectarines under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each fruit in half and carefully remove the pit.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until combined.

Step 4

Brush the cut sides of the peaches or nectarines generously with the maple mixture using a pastry brush.

Step 5

Place the fruit halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize.

Step 6

Flip the fruit using tongs and brush the tops with more of the maple mixture. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the fruit is slightly softened but still holds its shape.

Step 7

Remove the grilled peaches or nectarines from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired, for an extra indulgent treat.
