Instructions

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

Notes

Ripe but firm peaches work best for this recipe to hold their shape during baking.
Feel free to substitute the bourbon with an extra splash of vanilla for a non-alcoholic version.
Serve with whipped cream or yogurt for a delicious twist.
