--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4                    Ripe freestone peaches
   1      tb            Amaretto liqueur
   1      tb            Butter
   1                    Egg yolk
     1/4  c             Brown sugar -- packed
   8                    Italian macaroons (Amaretti) --
                        - crushed
     1/4  c             Almonds -- finely chopped

Cut peaches in half from stem to root end (don't peel). Twist to free
from pit. Place peach halves, cut side up, in a 10" well-buttered
baking dish.

Combine remaining ingredients. Beat with a fork to blend well. Stuff
each peach hollow with almond mixture. Bake in preheated 350°F oven
for 20 minutes, or until peaches are soft but still hold their shape.
Serve warm.

This can also be done with pears, apricots, nectarines, or apples.
All are very good.
