Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the peaches into thin, uniform slices. Remove the pit and discard it.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to ensure the sugar begins to dissolve and coat the peaches.
- Cook the peaches, stirring occasionally, allowing them to soften and release their natural juices. This should take approximately 4-5 minutes.
- As the peaches cook, they will become slightly syrupy and develop a rich, caramelized flavor from the sugar and cinnamon.
- Remove the pan from heat when the peaches are tender but still hold their shape, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Let the peach topping cool for 2-3 minutes before serving warm over waffles, pancakes, or your preferred breakfast dish.
- For best results, serve immediately while the peaches are still warm and the sauce is fresh.
Tips
- * Make sure to choose ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor and texture. * Don't overcook the peaches - you want them to retain their shape and tender bite. * Experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to give your peach topping a unique twist. * This topping is incredibly versatile - try it on yogurt, oatmeal, or even ice cream for a delicious dessert! * For an extra-special treat, serve the peach topping with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
