Steps:
- Cut up nectarines into bite sized pieces. (Figure about 1-1/2 nectarines per person.).
- Place in bottom of baking dish.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar (I usually use no more than a tablespoon per nectarine) and cinnamon (as much as you want).
- Then crush graham crackers over the top, about one whole graham cracker per nectarine.
- Then, randomly place small pads of butter over the top -- you don't need much, but it keeps the top moist.
- Then, bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until desired softness.
- Let it cool for a little bit, then scoop over ice cream.
- You can use peaches instead of nectarines if you can't find them, but I have found that nectarines turn out sweeter and juicier.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the nectarine halves snugly in a baking dish, cut-side up. Put the amaretti biscuits into a large bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to bash into crumbs. Add the softened butter, ground almonds, caster sugar and egg, and stir together.
- Push spoonfuls of the mixture into the cavities of the nectarines, piling more on top until the mixture is evenly divided among them. Scatter with almonds, then carefully pour the Marsala into the dish through a gap between the fruit so the topping doesn't get soggy. Bake for 40-50 mins until golden and crisp, and the fruit is soft. Eat warm with the juices spooned over, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche alongside.

BAKED PEACHES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Arrange the peaches in a shallow gratin dish, cut-side up, in a snug single layer. If you like, fill the cavity of each peach with berries. Sprinkle the sugar over the peaches and berries-more or less, depending on the fruits' sweetness. Drizzle the wine or water over the fruit. Bake the peaches for about 20 minutes, until juicy and tender. Serve warm with their juices and, if you like, with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Notes
- If you prefer, peel the peaches before baking: Drop the peaches in boiling water for 20 seconds or so, just enough to loosen the skins. Lift them out and plunge immediately into ice water. When cool, slip off the skins.
- In place of the berries, the peaches are delicious baked with an almond stuffing: Cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Blend in 1 small egg yolk, 1/4 cup lightly toasted and chopped almonds, and 4 crushed macaroon cookies. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the peaches and bake. The stuffing is equally good with pears, nectarines, or apricots.
