Creating delicious pan-fried peaches is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Peaches: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice them into wedges.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s bubbly.
3. Add Sugar and Spices: Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 1 minute until everything is combined and fragrant.
4. Cook the Peaches: Add the peach slices to the skillet, cut side down. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
5. Flip and Cook: Gently flip the slices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. The peaches should be tender and golden brown.
6. Add Vanilla: Drizzle the vanilla extract over the peaches and stir gently to combine.
7. Serve Warm: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the peaches to a serving platter. Allow some time for them to cool slightly.
8. Garnish: If desired, top the warm peaches with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

These steps will guide you in perfectly crafting this incredible dish, bringing a burst of flavor to your dining experience.
