Baked Peaches with Maple is a simple yet elegant dessert that highlights the natural sweetness of ripe summer peaches. This dish involves baking peach halves until tender and juicy, then drizzling them with warm maple syrup, and often topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor.
