Introduction

Nothing says summer like the sweet aroma of cinnamon sugar caramelizing on fresh peaches over an open flame. With the Arteflame grill, we can achieve the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and caramelized flavors. The flat cooktop griddle on the Arteflame ensures even cooking without burning, while the firewood infuses a subtle smokiness, enhancing the natural sweetness of the peaches. Let's get grilling and make the most delicious caramelized peaches you'll ever taste!

Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up your Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins and light them.
4. Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating

1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3: Coat the peaches

1. Brush the cut sides of the peaches generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
2. Let them sit for a minute to absorb the flavors.

Step 4: Grill the peaches

1. Place the peaches cut-side down on the Arteflame flat top griddle near the hotter center.
2. Grill for about 3-5 minutes until caramelized and golden brown.
3. Flip the peaches and grill for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

1. Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly.
2. Serve warm as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips

• Use ripe yet firm peaches for the best grilling results.
• For extra caramelization, apply an additional brush of the cinnamon butter halfway through grilling.
• Grill the peaches closer to the center for a deeper sear and smoky flavor.

Variations

1. Honey Glazed Peaches: Substitute brown sugar with honey for a lighter, floral sweetness.
2. Maple Cinnamon Peaches: Use maple syrup instead of sugar for a richer caramel-like glaze.
3. Spiced Bourbon Peaches: Add a splash of bourbon and nutmeg to the glaze for a bold, smoky twist.
4. Salted Caramel Peaches: Sprinkle coarse sea salt on the peaches after grilling for a sweet-salty contrast.
5. Almond Butter Peaches: Drizzle almond butter over the grilled peaches for a nutty complement.
