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
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
