Instructions

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

Notes

Ensure the peaches are ripe but firm for the best texture after baking.
Feel free to substitute maple syrup with honey for a different flavor profile.
Add more bourbon for an enhanced taste if desired.
