This rustic take on a peach crumble couldn't be easier: Halved peaches are topped with a quick mixture that includes amaretti, almonds, butter, flour, and sugar. The crunchy topping is a nice contrast to the warm, tender peaches. Ingredients:
5 amaretti cookies (italian macaroons; about 3/4 ounce total) |
3 tablespoons whole natural almonds |
2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
3 firm but ripe large peaches, rinsed, wiped clean of fuzz, halved, pitted |
vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 11 x 7 x 2- inch glass baking dish. Combine cookies, almonds, flour, and sugar in processor. Using on/off turns, process until cookies and almonds are coarsely chopped. Add 3 tablespoons chilled butter to processor. Using on/off turns, process topping mixture until moist clumps form.
2. Place peach halves, cut side up, in prepared dish. Spread topping over surface of each peach half (about 1 generous tablespoon for each), pressing lightly to adhere and leaving 1/4-inch plain border.
3. Bake peaches until tender when pierced with knife and topping is golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer 1 warm roasted peach half to each of 6 plates. Serve with scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.
4. * Available at some supermarkets and at Italian markets.
