Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large peaches, peeled, halved, pitted, each half cut into 6 wedges (about 3 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Amaretto
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup toffee pieces (such as Skor)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 1/2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • In large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, amaretto, orange juice, orange zest, and lemon zest. Toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Place toffee bits, pecans, flour, and butter in a food processor. Using on/off turns, process topping until moist clumps form.
  • Divide peach mixture among six 1 1/4-cup ramekins. Place ramekins on baking sheet. Sprinkle topping over peaches in ramekins, dividing equally.
  • Bake crisps until juices bubble thickly and topping is crisp, about 1 hour.
  • Cool slightly. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
