The graham cracker crunch topping is delicious on its own, but combined with ripe peaches, cinnamon syrup and ice cream, it makes for positively addictive sundaes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

1 cup plus 6 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
6 whole cinnamon graham crackers, crushed to coarse crumbs
4 1/2tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 medium peaches, pitted, sliced into wedges
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
French vanilla ice cream
6 cinnamon sticks (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 3/4 cup water, corn syrup and halved cinnamon sticks in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until syrup is reduced to 1¤ cups, about 20 minutes. Cool; remove cinnamon sticks. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cracker crumbs, butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl; toss to coat evenly. Spread mixture out on small baking sheet. Bake until golden, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Cool.

    Step 3

    Mix peaches, 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice and ground cinnamon in medium bowl. Let stand until juices form, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.

    Step 4

    Place 2 scoops of ice cream in each of 6 bowls. Spoon peaches and juices over ice cream. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with crunch topping. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if desired, and serve.
