Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package cornbread mix (such as Marie Callender's®)
1 ½ cups water
4 medium (blank)s peaches, or more to taste
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

Beat cream, sugar, and almond extract in a glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Continue to beat until peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 2-quart glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine cornbread mix and water in a mixing bowl; mix until lumps disappear. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut an "X" in the bottom of each peach and place in the boiling water. Leave in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Allow peaches to cool slightly, then cut in half. Peel skin off and remove pit. Cut peaches into 1/2-inch slices and place in a colander in the sink to drain excess juice.
Combine brown sugar, butter, and salt in a large pan over medium heat until brown sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in peaches. Cook until mixture thickens and peaches become tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly on the bottom of the dish. Pour peach mixture gently over the almonds, and pour cornbread mixture gently over the peaches. Smooth batter evenly with a spatula to cover all peaches.
Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Lift squares with a spatula and flip onto a serving dish so peaches are on top. Serve with chilled whipped cream.
