Ingredients
Scale
Nectarines
- 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Nectarines: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and halve the nectarines, removing the pits. Place them cut side up in a baking dish.
- Bake Nectarines: Dot each nectarine half with a small amount of melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Make Cinnamon Honey Sauce: While the nectarines are baking, mix the honey and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.
- Serve: Remove the baked nectarines from the oven and drizzle generously with the cinnamon honey sauce. Serve warm as a delightful dessert.
Notes
- Choose nectarines that are ripe but still firm for the best texture after baking.
- For a richer flavor, brown the butter slightly before dotting on the fruit.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon to taste for a spicier sauce.
