Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar melts.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer before adding the peaches.
Once the peaches are added, add a pinch of salt, and stir gently to coat.
Add the brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled lighter to carefully flambé the peaches. *Note - make sure to stand back from the skillet during the flaming process, and that there are no flammable items like sleeves or drapes close to the skillet when doing so. The flame will extinguish itself after a few seconds.
Add the ground cinnamon and nutmeg to the peaches along with the chopped pecans. Stir to coat.
Use a slotted spoon to serve the peaches in a bowl, or over ice cream or pound cake (not shown), and spoon the sauce over top.

Always use caution when using alcohol and an open flame.

Never pour the alcohol directly from the bottle when using and open flame.

This recipe can be made without alcohol, but it will not be flammable.
