Warm succulent baked peaches with a different twist, since it is made in layers. A crowd favorite and super easy to prepare - a fun different dessert to make now that peaches are coming into season. Serve up with a dollop of whipped cream - and you got that oh my - and oh yes some more please factor going on at your dining room table.
Ingredients
- Preheat oven 400 degrees shopping list
- 1 greased casserole dish with lid. shopping list
- 3 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (frozen ok, but...) shopping list
- 1/2 cup brown sugar shopping list
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1 teaspoon almond flavoring shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- ***2 cups of buttered crumbs: shopping list
- 2 cups fine dry bread crumbs (plain, unseasoned, ok to use stale bread or Italian bread) shopping list
- 1 stick of melted butter - 1/4 cup shortening shopping list
How to make it
- Great recipe to bring in the kids with since its that easy.
- **To quickly peal peaches, boil 2 quarts water and pour over peaches in large bowl, let sit for one minutes maybe two, then immediately put bowl under cold water, pour all water out. With paring knife, skins should easily come off in no time flat, then slice up as you need (this trick is great for most veggies and fruits too btw)
- Melt butter for bread crumbs, sprinkler over bread crumbs and stir, set aside.
- Add almond extract to your water and set aside.
- My mother always taught me to use some almond flavoring when doing anything with peaches, since the inside nut of the peach pit resembles the almond, and it truly brings out the peach flavor big time! - Same with cherries too people.
- Layer in your greased casserole dish, the following ingredients: buttered crumbs, peaches and a sprinkler of brown sugar on top of the peaches, then repeat the layering process until finished with the ingredients, ending with a layer of your buttered bread crumbs.
- Pour the water and almond extract over all and put lid on your casserole.
- Place on middle rack in your oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove lid and bake for another 15 minutes without the lid.
- Spoon out and serve up with fresh whipped cream, add a sprig of mint to be extra fancy. Enjoy!
