Stuffed Peaches
"My family loved this dessert. Great for when peaches are in season.
These can be served warm or cold and the liqueur can be substituted."

These were really good. The recipe intro stated it could be eaten warm or cold, so I made mine early in the day and we had them for dessert that evening, completely cooled off. But the time stated was a bit more than was needed for my oven because the topping scorched a bit and had hardened by the time we ate them. But other than that it was a wonderful dessert. Next time, I think I'll turn the temperature down about 25 degrees and/or take them out sooner so the topping doesn't harden. And I think these would be fabulous served warm right out of the oven. Thanks, Tisme.
