Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 ripe peaches (about 2 1/2 pounds), halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 2-inch-thick wedges

1/3 cup brandy or Cognac

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/3 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Combine sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add peaches, and toss to coat well. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peaches, cut sides down, and sprinkle with remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture from bowl. Cook, turning peaches after 5 minutes, until sugar caramelizes and peaches are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.

Add brandy; cook until reduced, about 1 minute. Add butter and cream; swirl to melt butter and combine. Cook until thick, about 1 minute.
