Caramelized Peaches with Pecan Pepita Brittle
Fresh peaches are caramelized in a skillet with butter, maple syrup, and peach jam, creating a rich, buttery glaze. Top with homemade crunchy pecan pepita brittle and serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
Equipment
- Medium skillet
Ingredients
For the skillet peaches:
- 2 large peaches, sliced and peeled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon peach jam
- pinch kosher salt
For the pecan pepita brittle:
- ¼ cup pepitas (or chopped pistachios)
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
For the brittle:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, combine the pepitas, pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, and chili powder. Stir to combine.
- Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper then dump the pepita mixture onto it. Spread it so it’s not in a pile, but all the pepitas are touching each other. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Break the pepitas into pieces.
For the peaches:
- In a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. Stir until it’s melted, then add the sliced peaches.
- Stir and cook for a minute or so, then add the maple syrup, peach jam, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir and cook for 3 minutes or until the peaches soften and the liquid thickens.
- Remove from the heat. Serve in a bowl with vanilla ice cream and the pecan brittle.
