Description

A simple, foolproof dessert where fresh peaches are caramelized on the grill and topped with a buttery, biscuit-like mixture. It’s a crowd-pleasing summer treat that requires minimal effort and delivers maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

6 large fresh peaches, halved and pitted
½ cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup whole milk
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
In a bowl, toss peach halves with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let sit for a few minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate small bowl, mix melted butter and milk.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Place a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a surface and spray with cooking spray or brush with butter.
Place sugared peach halves cut-side up on the foil.
Spoon the topping mixture over the peaches, dolloping it on top rather than covering completely.
Place foil packets directly on the grill grates and close the lid.
Grill for 15-20 minutes without opening the lid, until topping is golden brown and puffed, and peaches are tender and bubbling.
Remove from grill and let cool for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Do not open the grill lid too early to ensure proper cooking. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and almond/oat milk. Fresh peaches are preferred over frozen for better texture.
