INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the walnuts and granulated sugar to a skillet over medium heat. Stir over heat for 5 minutes, until the sugar is melted, and the walnuts are toasted. Transfer the walnuts onto a piece of parchment paper and spread them out so that they do not clump together while they cool. Set aside.

2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the cut side of the peaches with the melted butter. Place the peaches on the grill, cut side-down, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until you can see clear grill marks. Flip and cook them cut side-up for 2 minutes.

3. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon onto the cut side of the peaches. Top with candied walnuts and a scoop of vanilla ice cream
