• 3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
• 2 medium eggs
• 2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk flour and baking powder together in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.

Step 3

Combine brown sugar, ¼ cup melted butter, and amaretto liqueur in a 9-inch pie plate until sugar has dissolved. Arrange peach slices in the pie plate; sprinkle with pecans. Set aside.

Step 4

Beat white sugar and ¼ cup butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat first egg into butter mixture. Beat second egg into mixture along with almond extract. Add flour mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just incorporated. Gently pour batter over peaches and pecans.
