Handy Kitchen Tools

While you will be adding liquid to the bottom of the pan, you can also add parchment paper to line the baking dish for a bit easier cleanup. Alternatively, you can spray with non-stick spray before placing the peaches into the dish to bake.

How to Make Stuffed Peaches

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the baking dish you chose with non-stick spray, or coat it with butter for easier cleanup.

Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a bit of the pulp from each peach so you have a 2" circle in the center. Save the pulp for the filling.

Finely chop the pulp you removed, and then combine it in a bowl with the dried cranberries, almonds, 2 tablespoons peach nectar, spices, and the graham cracker crumbs. Mix this well.

Place the peach halves into the baking dish, then divide the crumbly mixture between the 4 halves, adding to the center you removed the pulp from.

Add the remaining peach nectar around the base of the peaches in the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.

Remove the aluminum foil, sprinkle the top with brown sugar, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the peaches are tender.

Serve with ice cream and a drizzle of peach syrup from the baking dish. You can also top with additional caramel syrup, and toasted nuts for texture if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make baked stuffed peaches with canned peaches?

Yes. Canned peaches work just as well in this recipe. You want to find the canned peaches that are already cut in half instead of slices. Since these halves are already cut and pitted, you do not need to do that, you will simply stuff them.

Reduce the cooking time to just 15 minutes covered, and 10 minutes uncovered if using canned peaches.

Can I make stuffed peaches ahead of time and reheat them?

Yes, you can make baked stuffed peaches ahead of time and reheat them when you are ready to serve them.

Prepare as directed, then let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container to store in the refrigerator. They are good for 4 days in the refrigerator.

When ready to serve, simply reheat the peaches in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes before serving.

What do I top the baked peaches with?

These baked peaches taste perfect just the way they are. They have just the right amount of sweetness. If you want to take them over the top, add whipped cream, whipped topping, or even ice cream.

You can also add caramel sauce, a chocolate sauce, or just use the nectar that has been reduced while it bakes.

Can I Stuff Different Fruits?

Absolutely! If you prefer a different fruit over peaches, have fun trying new combinations. This method works great with pears, nectarines, apples, and figs are common choices to stuff and bake.
