# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The maple caramelizes into this incredible sticky glaze that you'll want to eat straight off the spoon
  • It turns simple peaches into something that feels fancy enough for dinner parties but comes together in minutes
02 -
  • Don't use peaches that are too firm or they won't soften properly in the oven
  • Keep an eye on the almonds during the last few minutes—they can go from golden to burned quickly
03 -
  • Line your baking dish with parchment for easier cleanup—the maple gets seriously sticky
  • Use a pastry brush to get every drop of that maple mixture into the peach crevices
