Hemsley & Hemsley Frangipane Peaches

3 tbsp butter or 2 tbsp coconut oil
¼-½ teaspoon of almond extract
⅔-1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup
1 egg
1 tiny pinch of sea salt
50g ground almonds
3 ripe peaches
Flaked almonds or whole almonds, to decorate
Lemon zest

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Split the peaches with a knife, remove the stones and place cut side up in a roasting dish.

Beat the butter, almond extract and maple syrup until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg and sea salt and then fold in the ground almonds. Divide the mixture between the peaches, using a spatula or knife to smooth the mixture over the top.

Sprinkle over the sliced/flaked almonds before placing the peaches in the oven and roasting for approximately 20 minutes. Scatter over lemon zest to serve and enjoy with or without a dollop of something creamy or a drizzle of raw honey.
