Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Optional: Vanilla ice cream or yogurt (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Start by halving the peaches and removing the pits. If desired, you can leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

    Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sea salt, and lemon juice. Mix until you have a smooth paste.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to foam but is not browned.

        Cook the Peaches: Carefully place the peach halves cut-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to caramelize and turn golden brown.

          Add the Sugar Mixture: Spoon the prepared brown sugar mixture over the peaches. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the peaches with the melted sugar as it bubbles up in the pan.

            Check Doneness: The peaches should be tender yet firm. If they are overly soft, they can break apart.

              Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Serve the pan-fried peaches warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves. For an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of yogurt beside the peaches.

                Enjoy: Dig in and relish the warm, caramelized goodness of these delectable pan-fried peaches!
