Amaretti-Crusted Peaches
Prep: 7 minutes; Cook: 30 minutes
Baked almond-filled peach halves are a favorite summertime dessert. The almond flavor and the crunch of the amaretti cookies perfectly complement the sweet, juicy fresh peaches. Look for macaroon-type amaretti cookies in Italian markets, gourmet stores, and large supermarkets.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 peach half)

- 2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; toss with a fork until well blended.
