Ingredients

¼ cup almonds
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter, cut into cubes
4 fresh peaches, peeled and halved
¼ cup brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
¼ cup water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast almonds in hot skillet until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Put almonds and brown sugar into a food processor bowl and process until almonds are chopped; add butter and pulse the mixture until completely blended.
Arrange peaches with the cut sides facing up into the baking dish. Spoon 1 tablespoon almond mixture into the center of each peach. Pour liqueur and water into the baking dish; cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in preheated oven until the peaches are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
