Measurement guide
tbsp = tablespoon · tsp = teaspoon. Use measuring spoons, not table cutlery. Metric equivalents are estimates. ¾ = three quarters; ½ = one half; ¼ = one quarter.
Directions
Prepare the peaches and skewers
Pit the peaches and cut each into 8 wedges. Thread the peach wedges evenly onto the skewers.
Brush peaches with honey and lemon juice
In a small bowl, mix the honey and lemon juice. Brush this mixture generously over all the peach wedges on the skewers.
Preheat the grill
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
Grill the peach skewers
Place the peach skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, until peaches are tender and have grill marks.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and finish grilling
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the peaches and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to caramelize the sugar slightly.
This easy dessert features ripe peaches threaded onto skewers, lightly coated with honey and dusted with cinnamon sugar.
Grilling enhances the peaches' natural sweetness while adding a subtle smoky flavor and beautiful caramelization.
Perfect for warm-weather gatherings or a quick treat that requires minimal ingredients and effort.

Cooking tips
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to hold their shape on the grill.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Watch the peaches closely when grilling to avoid burning the sugar.
Substitutions
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile.
- For a citrus twist, use lime juice instead of lemon juice, but it may alter the brightness slightly.
Storage and reheating
Store leftover grilled peaches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Best served warm or at room temperature.
