There’s always room in my recipe box for another crowd pleasing dessert that is simple to make. Candied Peaches and Cream take about 7 minutes to make and who can resist a fresh peach dripping with butter and caramelized brown sugar? Top it all off with a sprinkling of cinnamon and whipped cream!
My college roommate taught me how to make this cute peach dessert, that's how easy it is! I've been making it for my family ever since!  Little Dairy on the Prairie
Late summer means it’s peach time. You may not know Western Idaho has many fruit orchards. I’m partial to Idaho fruit because I grew up eating it. An old friend, who owned an orchard used to bring my Mom boxes upon boxes of fruit. I remember canning fruit until I thought I would die! 
 
Now that I’m the Mom is still can peaches but not as many! Our family enjoys eating them fresh with sugar and cream for breakfast almost everyday during the late summer. Candied Peaches and Cream happen to be another favorite way to eat them.
It's kinda like peach cobbler! Couldn't be easier!  Little Dairy on the Prairie
My college roommate taught me how to make these and I’ve been eating them ever since! You know if we were making them in college they don’t require any fancy ingredients and very little time. We were busy and poor! They were perfect too because boys loved them which meant boys loved us! 
 
Here’s the low down, cut the peach in half and remove the stone. Spoon a little, or lot, of brown sugar in the pit hole. Slice a little butter, set it on top of the brown sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar if you want. Add chopped pecans, coconut or granola if you want.
Caramelized Peaches! Simply amazing!  Little Dairy on the Prairie
Throw those babies in the oven for a few minutes until the butter is melted and the brown sugar is a little bubbly. Move them under a low broiler just to finish them off.
Candied Peaches are a simple dessert that can be brings together all the best flavors of fall!  Little Dairy on the Prairie
You can stop right here! Let’s recap. Candied Peaches begin with a fresh juicy peach and are dripping with butter and caramelized brown sugar. Pretty much…that’s a winning combination any day of the week!
Candied Peaches are a family favorite dessert in the fall! Three ingredients, five minutes to a simply and amazing dessert!  Little Dairy on the Prairie
Seriously, Candied Peaches with Cream are simple enough for any week night dessert, after school snack or breakfast. They are also so dang cute and tasty they are also perfect for serving to company. It’s one of those things you will serve and people will say, “why didn’t I think of this”. 
Candied Peaches and Cream

Now, for the cream part, it’s important too. You could stop before adding it but then you would have candied peaches, which are dripping with deliciousness too. If you want Candied Peaches and Cream you must use the fun squirty can of whipped cream and pipe a little dollop of whipped cream right on the top. Just make sure it has the “Real Seal” so you know it’s the real deal! (I’m a dairy farmer that’s important to me!)

I bet you can remember how to make Candied Peaches and Cream without a recipe, just in case here’s the printable!

    Fresh peaches are better than canned peaches any day of the week. It is neat we have so much fresh fruit in the supermarkets we can eat them even in the winter months.

      I wish we could get fresh peaches all year long. Then we wouldn’t have to gorge on them so much when they are in season! It’s true though, we can get other yummy fruit all winter long!

    It’s really amazing how fruit can be as much a candy as the stuff you buy in packages. Tried these last night — with pecans! Holy moly, my wife and I almost made ourselves second helpings. Which is fine, since we’ll make them again tonight 🙂

      Joe, eating fruit that tastes like candy is a bonus! In my area, peach season is almost over. My kids are bummed because they love eating these for an after school snack. I love it to because it’s so quick for me to make and since it’s fruit I’m calling it healthy:)
