Roasted Vanilla Peaches with vanilla ice cream

Originally Martha Stewart's recipe - I adjusted it to meet my tastes. The Farmer's Market is overflowing with beautiful peaches, luckily I have a ton of peach recipes in my back pocket.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 firm, ripe peaches
ice cream

Wash and cut your peaches in half. Take out the pits.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine butter, lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon and vanilla. Put the peaches in a small shallow baking dish. Add peaches, and turn to coat with butter mixture; arrange, cut side down, in a single layer.

Roast until peaches are tender and cooking liquid is syrupy, 15 to 25 minutes. Sometimes in between I spoon the cooking liquid over the peaches, but it is up top you.

Serve peaches (warm or at room temperature) with ice cream; drizzle with cooking liquid.

That looks delicious!
I haven't bought peaches yet this year but I keep seeing so many great peach recipes that I'm going to have to.

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious! Tastes just like peach cobbler that you'd slave over for hours minus the crusty mess. Definitely a hit.
