How to Make Almond Peaches With Amaretti Filling

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Gently spread the almond paste evenly inside each peach half.
3. Crush the amaretti cookies into coarse crumbs.
4. In a bowl, combine the crushed amaretti cookies with the melted butter and a pinch of sugar. Mix until well combined.
5. Spoon the amaretti mixture into the center of each peach half, filling the cavity.
6. Arrange the filled peach halves in a baking dish.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the topping is lightly golden brown.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
