Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat the oven (5 minutes):
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the peach halves.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

The combination of juicy, tender peaches with the crunchy, spiced walnut and oat filling creates a delightful dessert that’s both simple and elegant.
