Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Peaches
These slow cooked peaches are my answer to the recipes for grilled peaches I've been seeing everywhere.
I love the idea of grilled peaches, but not the reality of standing over a hot grill—even for the 5 to 10 minutes required.
Slow Cooker Peach Dessert
I'll take my slow cooker(s) over the grill any day.
All I can say is YUM! Talk about maximum reward for minimum effort.
Recipe Notes
Just cut your peaches in half, remove the pits, and layer them in the bottom of your slow cooker skin side down. Drizzle with a little orange or apple juice, pop in a cinnamon stick and let them cook for several hours.
Fresh peaches
We enjoyed our warm-from-the-slow-cooker peaches with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. And then again for breakfast with a dollop of thick and tangy Greek yogurt, drizzle of honey, and sprinkling of pistachios.
I'll definitely be making these slow cooker peaches again this summer. And plan to experiment with nectarines, apricots and plums too.
