Amaretto cookies stuffed Peaches

We had lots of fruit trees, my father (il papa') Roberto favourite past time was and still is to plant fruit trees around the house and near the vineyards. 
So what did we do with all these peaches, figs, apricots, cherries, pears, plums, apples, blackberries? Yes, we really had all this!!!
My mom and grandma made some "marmellata" (next recipe), we gave some to friends and family and the rest... well we couldn't eat it all so we made torte and desserts DELIZIOSI.


Here is a simple dessert recipe for you..of course using Prosecco!


Ingredients:
4 peaches
1 cup of amaretti cookies
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of flour
half glass of Prosecco 
1 egg yolk


Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the peaches in half and arrange them side up in the prepared dish. 
In a bowl put the amaretti cookies finely crumbled, add the egg yolk, the flour, sugar and the Prosecco!
Fill the center of each peach with the amaretti cookie crumbs.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over each. Bake until peaches are tender and filling is crisp on top.
Serve hot (with gelato) or cold with some mint leaves.


Next time another recipe using a different fruit!


Buon Appetito!!!
Ciao
