A simple and comforting dessert featuring baked peaches topped with a creamy honey mascarpone and a crunchy graham cracker crumble. Perfect for a quick, fuss-free treat that feels like a warm hug.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe but firm peaches
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup graham crackers, crushed into crumbs (about 8 sheets)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter your baking dish or ramekins to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and halve the peaches, then remove the pits. Toss them gently with lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a bowl to brighten their flavor. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust honey if you want a sweeter spread. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. In another bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to combine until the mixture looks sandy and moist.
  5. Place the peach halves cut side up in the prepared dish. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the crumble over each peach half, ensuring an even coating.
  6. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender but not mushy, and the crumble is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon a generous dollop of honey mascarpone over each peach half. Drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the crumble near the end of baking; tent with foil if browning too quickly. For very ripe peaches, reduce lemon juice slightly to avoid excess tartness. Mascarpone should be at room temperature for smooth mixing. Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 4 hours before baking. Use dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions as needed.
