Number Of Ingredients 21

FILLING:
2 pound(s) peaches, fresh ripe
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon(s) cloves
1/2 cup(s) amaretto or brandy
TOPPING:
1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 stick(s) butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 x large egg yolk
1 1/2 cup(s) almonds, slivered (or pecans, chopped)
1 cup(s) vanilla or white chocolate chips
6 - stella d'oro almond delight cookies, large chunks (semi-crumbled)
SERVE WITH:
- vanilla ice cream
- cool whip free

Steps:

  • FILLING: Peel & pit peaches; cut into thick slices. Combine with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla & ground cloves. Place in a greased baking dish; cover with foil & bake at 400 degrees F. until peaches begin to release liquid, 15 minutes. NOTE: Let the peaches go the full 15 minutes. It will not work being rushed & it wont cook correctly. I think the peaches need to be fully heated through when you put the topping on.
  • TOPPING: While the peaches bake, mix flour, baking powder, & salt together; set aside. Beat softened butter & sugar until light & fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in egg yolk & vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients just until combined. After the peaches have cooked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven & stir them. Let cool 15 minutes, then pour amaretto evenly over peaches. Sprinkle 1/2 the almonds & white chocolate chips over but don't stir. Drop topping dough by tbsp evenly over the fruit (it won't cover every spot completely!). With an oiled spatula....try to gently spread the dough (it doesn't have to be perfect). Sprinkle evenly with remaining nuts, remaining white chocolate chips & then crumbled cookies. Return baking dish to the oven, uncovered & bake until the topping is nicely browned & peaches are bubbly, about 40 minutes more.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream & a dollop of cool whip free. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
