  1. **Prepare the Peaches**
  2. Wash and slice the peaches into wedges, removing the pits. No need to peel unless preferred.

  7. **Cook Until Golden**
  8. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and develop a golden caramelized glaze. If using vanilla extract, stir it in during the last minute of cooking.
