How to Make Baked Peaches Stuffed With Almonds
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and halve 4 ripe peaches. Remove pits and place cut-side up in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup crushed almonds.
- Spoon the almond mixture evenly over the cut sides of the peaches.
- Optional: Sprinkle peaches with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and drizzle with 1 ounce Grand Marnier or similar liqueur.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are tender. For softer peaches, bake for a few minutes longer.
- Serve warm, spooning some of the pan sauce over the peaches. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
