Baked Caramelized Peaches with Salted Nuts

Baked caramelized peaches with salted nuts is a simple dessert that lets the fruit do most of the work. The peaches soften and intensify in flavor as they bake, while butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon add warmth and richness. A handful of salted nuts brings the perfect crunchy contrast to the soft, juicy fruit. It comes together quickly and looks more impressive than it should. Great on its own, but even better served warm with ice cream. Perfect for summer or anytime you want an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert.
