Ingredients
  

  • 4 large peaches , cut in half, pits removed
  • 2 T. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 t. ground cinnamon + more for garnish
  • 2 1/2 T. real maple syrup , divided
  • ½ c. heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • The first thing you have to do is place the top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking sheet.
  • On the baking sheet, place peaches and spread the balsamic vinegar over the exposed surface with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top, divided evenly between the peach halves.
  • Drizzle two tablespoons of maple syrup on top, using the pastry brush to cover the entire surface of each peach half.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and warmed through.
  • While the peaches are baking, pour the heavy cream into a medium mixing bowl and beat until fluffy. Add the remaining maple syrup and continue beating until well combined.
  • Remove the peaches from the oven and serve warm topped with a dollop of the maple whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

  1. A great way to improvise when you don't have ingredients to make the whipped cream: use vanilla ice cream!
  2. You can still follow the rest of this recipe even if you prefer grilled peaches.
