maple baked peaches

I made this up! 3 ripe peaches, halved and pits removed some maple syrup some butter or Earth Balance some cinnamon/clove/nutmeg mixture, or any one of the above Preheat oven to 350. Put the peaches, cut side up, in a glass baking dish or on a cookie sheet or whatever. Put a sliver of butter in each hold, drizzle maple syrup on top, and sprinkle the spices over everything. Bake for 45 minutes or until everything is melted and hot. Serve right away with ice cream or without.
