Ingredients

4 medium-large fresh peaches ripe but slightly firm
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Slice your peaches (not too thin) and place them in a baking dish. I used a 9.5-inch round baking dish. An 8x8 or 9x9 will also work.
Combine melted butter, syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour over the peaches and stir gently to combine.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the juices are bubbling and the peaches have softened but are still holding their shape. Cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, this allows the juices to thicken a bit. Serve warm.
