However, this recipe adds a twist to the classic version by using juicy peaches and crunchy almonds instead. The result is a mouth-watering dish that combines sweet, ripe fruit with a rich, nutty flavor. Serve this dessert warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.
