Peaches are full of vitamin C and are also a good source of potassium and fiber. They contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Do your body and your taste buds a favor and whip up these easy treats!
All you do to pull these together is slice some fresh peaches in half, remove the pit, and place them in a baking dish. Then, in the hollow of each peach half, put 1/2 teaspoon of butter and 1 or 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. The original recipe called for 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, but I only put 1 and it was totally tasty. So, choose based on your sweetness preference.
Serve these little beauties warm straight from the oven. For a little extra decadence, add a dollop of whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side. Oh, so good. And at just around 100 calories, it’s a beautiful and delicious health{ier} treat!
