Baked Peaches with an Almond Crust Recipe

Baked Peaches with an Almond Crust Recipe

  • 6 tbsp (75 mL) ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) brown sugar or honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) softened unsalted butter
  • 2 large ripe peaches (not cling type)
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) softened unsalted butter
  • Chocolate ice cream and/or raspberry coulis
  • Baking dish
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C)
  2. In a small bowl, combine ground almonds, sugar and 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, mixing with a spoon to form a paste.
  3. Cut a ring around the peaches and neatly separate them in halves. Remove pits. Lightly rub 1 tsp (5 mL) butter all over the peaches to grease the surfaces. Put peach halves in baking dish, skin-side down. Heap a quarter of the almond paste into the pit cavity of each half.
  4. Bake the peaches for 20 minutes. Serve (half a peach per portion) immediately, garnished with a dollop of ice cream and/or a smear of raspberry coulis.
