Broiled Peaches with Cookie-Crumb Topping
- 2 ripe peaches (about 1 pound), peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 2 shortbread or butter cookies, crumbled (about 1/4 cup crumbs)
- heavy cream as an accompaniment
- In a bowl toss together the peaches, the lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar and in a buttered flameproof baking pan large enough to hold the peaches in one layer broil the mixture about 6 inches from a preheated broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the peaches are tender.
- In a small bowl combine the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the butter, and the cookie crumbs and sprinkle the topping over the peaches.
- Broil the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the topping is pale golden.
- Divide the mixture between 2 dishes and serve it with the cream.
