Serves 2

For a variation of this classic dessert, try berries, apples, pears, plums or nectarines instead of peaches. Or if you prefer, try a combination of any of these fruits.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a small baking dish with cooking spray. Place the peaches in the baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and granola. Bake until the fruit is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes. To serve, divide the ice cream between two bowls. Top each with half of the baked peaches. Serve right away.

2 medium peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup low-fat granola
1 cup fat-free vanilla ice cream
