- Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 4 large peaches, halved and pitted
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven (5 minutes):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the peach halves.
- Prepare the peaches (5 minutes):
- Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out a small amount of the flesh from the center of each peach half to create a cavity for the filling.
- Prepare the walnut and oat filling (10 minutes):
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the oat mixture and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Stuff the peaches (5 minutes):
- Place the peach halves in the prepared baking dish, cut side up. Spoon the walnut and oat filling into the cavity of each peach half, packing it in gently.
- Bake the peaches (25-30 minutes):
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the filling is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve (5 minutes):
- Allow the peaches to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For added flavor, you can drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the peaches before baking. These stuffed baked peaches can also be served with a dollop of whipped cream for a lighter option.
