My New Favorite Dessert: Wine-Baked Peaches

This week my favorite nearby winery, Clos LaChance, was having a sale on a bunch of their wines. Naturally, I felt the need to stop by the winery yesterday to nab a couple of bottles on my way to the gym. Can’t let a sale of yummy local wine pass me by!

Besides buying bottles of grenache and pinot noir, I also got a bottle of their sweet late harvest semillon nectar white wine with one thing in mind: dessert last night.

I had a couple of ripe peaches hanging out in my fruit basket ready to be eaten, and had the brilliant idea of baking them with some of the nectar wine, sugar, and cinnamon – because I love to sprinkle cinnamon on nearly everything – then pairing them with vanilla frozen yogurt.

Oh.my.gosh. It was SO DELICIOUS and such an easy dessert to make.

First I sliced the peaches in half, removed the pits, and cut out larger center cavities…

…then I placed the peaches on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Next I whisked together the wine with truvia baking blend sugar mix, filled the center of the peaches with the wine/sugar mix, and sprinkled cinnamon on top.

I popped them in the oven to bake at 350. After a long half-hour of smelling the glorious scent of baking fruit and sweetness, I took the peaches out, paired them with vanilla fro yo, and inhaled enjoyed my peach dessert with my hubby – because I was nice enough to share half of my creation with him. 😉

I had one more ripe locally grown peach left in the house today, and seriously considered making another wine-baked peach. But then I realized that it was only noon on a Wednesday and I was working, sooo I resisted the urge and just ate the peach with cottage cheese and cashew pieces instead. Not quite as amazing, but the peach was still yummy!
