Easy Peachy a la Mode

Peaches are in season right now. Picking out ripe fruit is not something I'm very good at. It's always a bit of a gamble when I get them home and cut them open. This week I was very pleased with my peach selection; they were juicy and sweet.

Of course they're delicious just eaten fresh and raw.
But I also have a fast and easy way to get the flavor of peach pie a la mode. (without the crust)

Easy Peachy a la Mode
Peel and slice Fresh Peaches. Place in a microwave safe bowl.
(if fresh peaches are not in season, just use a bag of Frozen Peach Slices)
Sprinkle liberally with Cinnamon.
Microwave for just a minute or so, until they're hot and juicy.
(Exact time depends on how many peaches you are using)
Remove bowl from microwave and top the hot peach slices with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.
If you really miss pie crust, you can always eat a few vanilla wafers or butter cookies with the hot peaches and melting ice cream.

Simple and delicious!
