Ingredients
6
ripe peaches
1
teaspoon
unsalted butter
(for baking dish)
1½
cup
(
75
grams) amaretti cookies
(approximately
20
amaretti cookies)
¼
cup
(
50
grams) brown sugar
1
large egg yolk
½
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
2
tablespoons
(
30
grams) unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C and butter a baking dish large enough to fit the peach halves in a single layer.
Wash, halve and stone the peaches cutting along the natural line of the fruit.
With a teaspoon or a melon baller, scoop out about a teaspoon of pulp from each half enlarging the cavity. Reserve the pulp.
Place peaches halves into prepared baking dish, cut side up.
Place the amaretti in a small bowl and crush the cookies with your hands.
Stir in the reserved pulp, brown sugar, egg yolk and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Spoon the filling into the cavity in each peach half as evenly as possible. Dot the tops with butter.
Bake peaches in preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or until soft and the filling is starting to firm up.
Serve warm or a room temperature with or without cream or vanilla ice cream.
