Welcome to your new favorite dessert: Peachy Almond Delight! This luscious treat combines the sweetness of peaches with the nutty crunch of almonds, creating a dessert that's hard to resist. Whether you're using fresh summer peaches or canned varieties, this recipe is a breeze to whip up and sure to impress.
The star of this dish is the peaches. They bring that juicy sweetness and delightful texture, whether you opt for fresh slices or the convenience of canned. The flour and sugar create the perfect base for a crumbly topping, effortlessly melding with the peaches as they bake. Melted butter adds richness and helps achieve that golden, crisp texture we all love. Sliced almonds not only enhance the crunch but also complement the almond flavor beautifully. A touch of almond extract rounds it all off, infusing the dish with a fragrant, nutty aroma.
This Peachy Almond Delight pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a touch of freshness, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves. If you're feeling fancy, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top before serving.
First things first, get your oven preheating to 350°F (175°C). This gives you plenty of time to prepare everything else. Take your 9x13 inch baking dish and spread your sliced peaches out evenly across the bottom. This ensures every bite of your dessert has that sweet, peachy goodness.
Now, grab a bowl and mix together the flour and sugar. No need for any fancy equipment here — a spoon or spatula will do just fine. Once mixed, sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over the peaches in your baking dish. This is what will form that delicious crust as it bakes.
Next up, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the flour and sugar mixture. Be sure to cover as much of the surface as possible, as this will help everything meld together into a delightful topping.
Sprinkle those sliced almonds generously on top. They add such a lovely crunch and enhance that almond flavor we're going for. Finally, drizzle the almond extract over everything. It might not seem like much, but it packs a punch, so don't skip this step!
Pop your dish into the oven and let it bake for 40-45 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the top is a beautiful golden brown and crisp. Let it cool slightly before serving so that it sets up just right.
