Baked Nectarines (Or Peaches)

HomemadeChef's Note:

Fresh, sweet, simple, quick and easy recipe! This is our favorite dessert!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1 lb nectarine
• ½ cup light brown sugar , packed
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup honey graham crackers , crushed (if you use cinnamon graham crackers, just leave out the cinnamon)
• 3 cups vanilla ice cream

Directions:

1. Cut up nectarines into bite sized pieces. (Figure about 1-1/2 nectarines per person.).
2. Place in bottom of baking dish.
3. Sprinkle with brown sugar (I usually use no more than a tablespoon per nectarine) and cinnamon (as much as you want).
4. Then crush graham crackers over the top, about one whole graham cracker per nectarine.
5. Then, randomly place small pads of butter over the top -- you don't need much, but it keeps the top moist.
6. Then, bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until desired softness.
7. Let it cool for a little bit, then scoop over ice cream.
8. You can use peaches instead of nectarines if you can't find them, but I have found that nectarines turn out sweeter and juicier.
