Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides with half of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the cut sides of the peaches. Then, evenly distribute the brown sugar over the cinnamon-coated peaches.
- Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to caramelize. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- While the peaches are grilling, combine the chopped pistachio nuts and white chocolate in a small mixing bowl.
- Once the peaches are done grilling, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a platter, cut side up. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the peaches.
- Sprinkle the pistachio and white chocolate mixture evenly over the warm peaches. The heat from the peaches will slightly melt the white chocolate, creating a delightful topping.
- Serve the grilled peaches immediately, either alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
